- October 2017 (Alternative) Record of the Month
The first solo album from the former Oasis and Beady Eye vocalist,åÊAs You Were was recorded in two locations. Greg Kurstin performed all of the instruments on the four songs that he produced (Wall Of Glass, Paper Crown, Come Back To Me and the psychedelic whoosh of It Doesn't Have To Be That Way), while Dan Grech-Marguerat produced the remainder of the album at Snap! Studios in London. The result is exactly what you would have hoped a Liam Gallagher solo album would sound like: the passion for the classic '60s/'70s influence that he's always had has been updated for the here and now. "I didn't want to be reinventing anything or going off on a space jazz odyssey, says Gallagher. It's the Lennon 'Cold Turkey' vibe, The Stones, the classics. But done my way, now."
