The song, Domino Bones (Get Dangerous), marks the supergroup’s third single since 2023 after X (Wot You Saying) and Gorilla Guerilla which they debuted live at Glastonbury Festival. ‘Mantra Of The Cosmos is like Dylan, Dali and Ginsberg on a rocket ship to the moon to have it with the clangers,’ Gallagher said about the recently-formed supergroup.

Zak and Noel go way back after first crossing paths in 1995 when Zak was rehearsing with his then-band, Face. In 2004, he became Oasis’ third drummer until2008 just before the brotherly duo tore apart. He appeared on the albums Don’t Believe The Truth and Dig Your Own Soul.

Zak shared his excitement about the release of Domino Bones. He told PA: ‘It’s not every day that the greatest songwriter of my generation – not to mention Shaun, the greatest beat poet of our times – sends a tune to me and I was in a daze for a bit cos it’s not something you want to f*** up.

‘It came together great – everyone digs it. Noel loves Shaun. He texted me to say “Do you know what you’ve got? The British Bob Dylan” – and he’s not f****** about because now I’ve witnessed what Shaun does. Noel calls him the “king of lyrics”.’.
