New Beady Eye record 'will shock everyone'
The manager of Beady Eye, Quest's Scott Rodger, has told Music Week that Liam Gallagher's new album could be the the best LP that the ex-Oasis man has ever recorded. Rodger, who also manages the likes of Arcade Fire, Paul McCartney and Noah & the Whale, features in a four-page Big Interview in the new Music Week magazine. Of all the albums on Quest’s roster, Rodger said he may be most enthused about the second record from Beady Eye – Liam Gallagher’s post-Oasis band, which also features Andy Bell and Gem Archer. The group started recording the record in London last month with TV On The Radio guitarist and producer Dave Sitek, who has also worked behind the desk on albums from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Liars, CSS and Foals. The currently unnamed album, the follow-up to 2011's Different Gear, Still Speeding, is due for release in the first half of 2013. Explained Rodger: “It’s probably the most exciting record I’ve worked on for as long as I can remember. Everyone thinks they know exactly what record Beady Eye are going to deliver, but they’ve completely turned it on its head. “I think Liam Gallagher is making the best album of his entire career. That’s a big statement because he’s made some classic records - usually with his brother’s songs. But Beady Eye are very talented players and writers and are technically fantastic. “Gem Archer is an amazing engineer and producer. Both he and Andy Bell will produce records for other people at some point, I’m sure. They pretty much made the record this year in Gem’s studio in his basement. They were writing all year and did what a lot of bands do: they wrote about nine or 10 songs and then said, ‘We’re ready to go with the album.’ “We encouraged them to keep writing until August or September and lo and behold, they wrote 21 songs – and some of the later songs were the best ones. Then we had to find a producer. We wanted to get someone in who’d take [the album] from a 7/10 to a 9/10. “I was on a plane to New York for a best friend’s wedding thinking, ‘Who can I call?’. Then I thought of [TV On The Radio producer] Dave Sitek – who I associate with New York and great records. I sent him the demos and a link to the studio after being told he’d never leave his LA home. He gets straight back to me to say, ‘I’m there.’ “Now they’ve tracked 21 songs in nine days [in London]. Sitek called at 6pm the other night to say, ‘I need a brass section. Get me a brass section now.’ Everyone in the [Quest] building was calling to sort it for him, and we did – within two hours it was recorded. It was a track that was never going to make the album, but Sitek completely changed the vibe and now it’s an amazing song. “They have a couple of songs that are just unbelievable, mind-blowing. Everyone’s going to be shocked when they hear this record. It’s not like anything Liam’s ever recorded before."

. The second album from Liam Gallagher's Beady Eye could be the best record the ex-Oasis man has ever made - or at least that's what his manager thinks.
Scott Rogers, of Quest Management, told Music Week that of all the albums on Quest's roster he is most enthused about the forthcoming Beady Eye album.
That's quite a statement considering Quest's roster also features Arcade Fire and Paul McCartney.
The band began recording the follow-up to 2011's Different Gear, Still Speeding last month with TV On The Radio's Dave Sitek, and are under pressure to deliver a better album than their debut.
"It's probably the most exciting record I've worked on for as long as I can remember," Rogers said.
"Everyone thinks they know exactly what record Beady Eye are going to deliver, but they've completey turned it on its head."
Last month Noel Gallagher remarked that his brother Liam was letting Beady Eye down.
"The thing with Beady Eye is...their singer does them a great disservice," he said in an interview with BBC 6Music. "I think they caught a lot of flak that was quite undeserved really.
"I think they've got a great album in them next time. They need one. They fucking need one, that's for sure."
If Rogers is to be believed, a great album is what the Beady Eye boys will indeed deliver.
"I think Liam Gallagher is making the best album of his entire career," he said.
"That's a big statement because he's made some classic records - usually with his brother's songs. But Beady Eye are very talentedplayers and writers and are technically fantastic."

Dave Sitek apparently jumped at the opportunity to work on the new record.
"I sent him the demos and a link to the studio after being told he'd never leave his LA home. He gets straight back to me to say 'I'm there'," Rogers remembers.
"They's tracked 21 songs in nine days [in London]. Sitek called at 6pm the other night to say, 'I need a brass section. Get me a brass section now'. Everyone in the building was calling to sort it for him, and we did - within two hours it was recorded.
"It was a track that was never going to make the album, but Sitek completely changed the vibe and now it's an amazing song."
"Everyone's going to be shocked when they hear this record."
The second Beady Eye album is expected to arrive sometime in the first half of next year.
With the lack of critical acclaim achieved by Different Gears, Still Speeding coupled with Rogers' comments it'll have a lot to live up to.
Bit more to the article. Sounds interesting.

hopefully BDI's new album will be good but you never really hear anyone promoting something they're doing by describing it as anything but great, i.e. especially anything to do with Oasis.
God bless.

Wow 21 songs in 9 days. Great news!!! I'm excited to read Dave Sitek is pushing the band hard and having a creative impact on the recordings.

I just hope they don't overdo the brass stuff just for the sake of being "different". Now that would be a shame.

21 tracks can turn out to be a double edged sword. The odds that LAG have written 21 fantastic songs over the past couple of years doesn't seem to jive with what we all know about the group. I'm hoping for a much better album than the last, and Noel was totally right, they need one badly. After the success of Noel's record, BDI run the risk of completely falling irrelevant if this record doesn't hit people more than the last one.
Fingers are crossed.

I really don't know what some people hear expect, if they release a great album its unlikely to do much popularity wise. Maybe it will gather up some more Oasis fans but I doubt much else. They can't really win on here, if they had only managed a dozen tunes in a month people would be saying the songs aren't there or they're limited well had run dry. Relevancy is a simply a matter of perspective and opinion. |

This is a big album for Beady Eye. I hope it turns out well for them and prove a lot of critics wrong. 21 songs does seem like a lot of material. I still want them to pick the best 11 songs. Stash the rest for b-sides and maybe an EP. Who knows. It's nice to finally have some upbeat Beady Eye news again. |

They've recorded 21 songs, they all wont be used, Oasis used to do the same, they'd record about 15-20 songs roughly and then choose the best out of them for the album. We'll get a 10-14 song record most likely.
It's very promising what's been said about it in that interview.

What specifically does "tracked" mean? Recorded? Demoed? Listed them down on a piece of paper from 1-21? Thanks.

Beady Eye turning expectations ‘completely on its head’ with new albumQuest Management’s Scott Rogers has told Music Week he believes the album currently being recorded by Beady Eye with their new producer Dave Sitek is ‘probably the most exciting record’ he has been a part of for ‘as long as he can remember’. Beady Eye’s debut album ‘Different Gear, Still Speeding‘ garnered a generally positive response from critics of the ‘better than was expected’ variety upon its release last year, but often found itself wallowing in mid-paced, uninspiring rock despite one or two outstanding highlights. However, the band’s decision to record the follow-up with Sitek – lauded for his work with TV On The Radio and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs - suggested a desire for something different amongst the former Oasis members this time round, an approach now apparently confirmed by Rogers. “It’s probably the most exciting record I’ve worked on for as long as I can remember,” he has told Music Week. “Everyone thinks they know exactly what record Beady Eye are going to deliver, but they’ve completely turned it on its head.” www.live4ever.uk.com/2012/12/beady-eye-turning-expectations-completely-on-its-head-with-new-album/#ixzz2EGxoQMKa
