NOEL GALLAGHER takes inspiration from an unlikely source on new single ‘Fort Knox’, the latest to be lifted from his upcoming album Who Built The Moon?
Said to have derived from a conversation about Kanye West’s track ‘The Power’, the song is the strongest indication yet that Gallagher’s new album may be his most experimental to date. Evoking a heavy psychedelic, rave-like atmosphere, the largely instrumental number is driven by a distinctive hip-hop groove with an array of effects-laden guitars, siren-like strings and vocal chants coming together to create one powerfully trippy concoction.
Of the track, Noel said: “It was the last track finished on the last day in the studio. It started from a conversation talking about the Kanye West track ‘The Power’. The singer, Y-See, had never even heard the track and she started to do this vocal over it and it was like: fucking hell! It all just fell in to place.”
Following the release of his comeback single ‘Holy Mountain’ last month, ‘Fort Knox’ is the latest intriguing insight into upcoming album Who Built The Moon?. Produced by none other than David Holmes and featuring guest appearances from Paul Weller and Johnny Marr, it is slated for release on 24th November.
