Oasis' Masterplan To step Into World Of Lowry
















At first glance it could be one of the famous scenes of Salford artist L S Lowry.

But look a little closer at the matchstick men - and there's the inimitable swagger of Liam Gallagher.

Liam and the rest of Oasis have been transported into a series of famous Lowry scenes for the video of new single The Masterplan.

The lads got the full blessing of the Lowry estate to create the animated video - as they hope it will give the famous artist a "fresh new image".

It follows the band in a host of famous Lowry scenes - including Man Lying On A Wall and Fairground At Daisy Nook - with quirky modern day additions like the satellite dish pictured here.

Lindsay Brooks, head of galleries at The Lowry, consulted Oasis and the Lowry estate on the video plans.

Wonderful

She said: "It's an idea that could have resulted in something really naff, but in fact the end result is wonderful.

"I think it's something that both The Lowry and the Lowry estate felt would be great to see because LS Lowry is in danger of being set in stone in the memories of people in the north west, but this would be a great way to freshen up his image if you like. Both Oasis and Lowry are inextricably linked with the north west, so bringing them together like this is a masterstroke."

The Masterplan, along with a re-recorded version of Acquiesce forms a new EP from Oasis, Stop The Clocks, released on November 13.
