The new album has now been recorded and is about to be mixed.
Recorded in Nashville, the album will be titled Father me and will of course include some classic, full energy tracks that faithful punters have come to expect from the Oakley, as well as some anthemic congregational songs and some cool moments.
It will be mixed in the States by the golden ears and skilled knob-twiddling fingers of Mr Shane Wilson.
The euphoric 'You're Beautiful (Hallelujah!)' has already raised American interest from a major artist who shall remain under wraps at this point as well as a reworking of the hymn Take my life and let it be, consecrated Lord to thee.
Watch this space for confirmation on release date.
