Stereogum reports that three demo MP3s from Oasis's recording sessions for their seventh album have leaked onto the web. Further research suggests the music is from their DBTT Special - follow the link.

Here are the demos, which sound promising ...

Nothing On Me

Stop The Clocks

I Wanna Live A Dream (In My Record Machine)

I also found a short clip for Show Me Love:

One of Steregum's readers has heard the new album - here is his report:

Got a Chance to listen to the album,

i live in LA and my studio is hosting oasis' mixing sessions. my boss

knows im a fan and invited me for a listen. the even made me empty my

pockets before they played it! i couldnt help jotting down an few things

to share tho! (tracklisting may not be exact - i was too excited to

remember)

Boy with the Blues: Mostly acoustic, a rarity for this album. Written by

Liam, but Gem will probably end up with a credit on the album as well.

Quite similar to "The Meaning of Soul". This will be the opening single.

Sweet and Sour: Written by Gem. One of the many tracks held back from

the DBTT sessions. The outro actually features a Liam/Noel/Gem harmony.

To Love True Love: The first Noel song on the record, written and sung.

Will most likely end up as a single. Includes the lyric, "If there's a

God, He will be crashing when you burn. But that's to love true love,

true love". Very compelling string section to this one.

Stop The Clocks: The long awaited song comes to fruition. It's much

shorter than initially expected, clocking in a just over 4 minutes. The

song is as good as advertised. The lyrics leaked previously are in fact

correct. But it is strange to see 2 noel-sung songs at #3 and #4 on the

tracklisting.

The Magic Can't Be Right: Noel penned, Liam vocals. Steers the album

away from the "big orchestra" sound for a moment and gets back to

5-piece rock and roll.

Guess I'm Out of Time: Written and sung by Liam. String-oriented and

just flat out trippy. Within you / Without you - escque. Hypnotizing.

Evil Eye: The third Liam-penned track of the record. It's a big, magical

song that's heavy on the organs, strings and horns. Opening lyric is a

sneering, "Don't give me that evil eye / It's not very wise". The song

inspired the following Liam quote, "There's lots of cool parts, man.

Really, we're throwing everything at it. It's gonna be cool, man."

A Ballad for Lovers: Andy's only appearance as a songwriter on the

record. The only other all-acoustic song on the record (with Boy with

The Blues). Placed here, it almost works as an epilogue for the tidal

wave that is "Evil Eye". Liam vocals doubled over beautiful piano riffs

and cascading acoustic guitars.

Let It Come Down Over Me: Another Noel written, Liam sungs tune. Was

initially slated to be the final track on DBTT, until Sardy convinced

Noel to re-work Let There Be Love.

I Want to Live in a Dream with my Record Machine: No surprises here.

Noel written and sung, complete with 3 guitar solos. Liam actually

appears on this track, you can make his voice in the chanting backing

vocals on the outro.
