The album was supported by a world tour, debuting in Seattle at the WaMu Theater, and continuing for eighteen months.

In addition to the standard release, there was also a limited edition boxset containing the album on CD, a bonus disc containing extra material and remixes, a DVD with a documentary of the making of the album, four 12" vinyl discs that contained all the music from the CDs cut in high-quality 45rpm and a hardback book of album artwork.ĭig Out Your Soul received positive reviews from critics for its harder rock and psychedelic rock sound that the band created, and it was a commercial success. The first single, " The Shock of the Lightning", was released shortly before the release of the album, on 29 September 2008. The album was supported by three singles. Lead guitarist Noel Gallagher wrote a majority of the songs, while three were written by Liam Gallagher as well as one contribution each from Gem Archer and Andy Bell. Production was handled by Dave Sardy who had previously produced much of the group's sixth studio album, Don't Believe the Truth (2005). The album was recorded between August and December 2007 at Abbey Road Studios in London, and mixed in January and March 2008 at The Village Recorder in Los Angeles. It was released on 6 October 2008 by Big Brother Recordings. Dig Out Your Soul is the seventh and final studio album by English rock band Oasis.
