There is also talk that this is the album artwork:
Working with producer and and composer David Holmes on the new album, Holmes released a statement discussing the direction and sound of the album. Holmes stated that “People are going to be surprised. I think people love Noel and they’re desperate for him to make a really big, bold, up-tempo beast of a record – a lot of Noel’s music is quite mid-tempo. This one is fun.” Looking back at his last two solo records, it is accurate to say that Noel did not take many risks or create a sound that was comparable to the epic hits of Oasis. This new album, Who Built The Moon? is highly anticipated by fans and music critics, who expect a more lively and emotional sound from the singer-songwriter and guitarist. After all, Noel Gallagher has been perfecting this album for the last two years.
Since leaving Oasis in 2009, Noel Gallagher has faced a lot of backlash from his ex-bandmate and brother Liam Gallagher, music critics and fans, and other artists. Liam Gallagher, who chimed in once he found out more details on his brother Noel Gallagher’s upcoming album, stated that “Psychedelic music by a beige drip is like a vegetarian trying to sell you a kebab as you were. It takes more than wheeling out your old mate Uri Geller and Har Mar Superstar to make a so-called out there record snoozer as you were.” His references to Uri Geller and Har Mar Superstar refer to Noel’s collaborations with Marr and Weller.
