Britpop superstars The Verve have reunited after many years of lawsuits and drug binges. The new album ‘Forth’ (clever?) is due Aug 19th, with the first single ‘Love Is Noise’ out on the 4th.
Non-album track ‘Mover’ is available for free from their website for on week, you just gotta fork over your email. Not much has changed with their sound, the song is pleasant enough, and apparently it’s about Restless Leg Syndrome.
Have at it:
The Verve – “Forth”
1. Sit And Wonder
2. Love Is Noise
3. Rather Be
4. Judas
5. Numbness
6. I See Houses
7. Noise Epic
8. Valium Skies
9. Columbo
10. Appalachian Springs

16 stone by Bush is probably the most influential record of the last 25 years.
June 30, 2008 at 1:02 pmI disagree. Clearly the most influential record of the past 25 years was Better Than Ezra’s “Deluxe.”

June 30, 2008 at 1:15 pmha! dick. this discussion is not a tightrope walk, but dance. an uncertain game of chance. but i’ll see it through in time. i don’t even know what i’m talking about.
June 30, 2008 at 1:30 pmSay what you want but the Verve were a pretty magnificent live act when I saw them at 930. No opener and no lighting effects or any stage nonsense - just cascading sheets of guitar and charisma to spare.
June 30, 2008 at 1:52 pmwhat? Northern Soul was the bomb.
you peasant mf’s don’t even deserve freedom of speech.
stay in school, you bamas.
Verve is pretty awesome. My favorite mixtape from ‘96 had a Verve song in between some Everclear and Matchbox 20 bangers.
I used to get cised when i heard Verve back to back with Eagle Eye Cherry on Z104.
June 30, 2008 at 2:41 pmVerve did Storm in Heaven, one of the best psychadelic records of all time….the verve pipe on the other hand, had that one song ‘freshmen’ and had the balls to put an alternate version of ‘freshmen’ on the album, which didn’t even have the sweet drums! i was young, and i was infuriated!
June 30, 2008 at 5:01 pmI saw The Verve at both 9:30’s…and they were great then. But why does this track sound so…BAD?
Wait - let me take some of that back…that band sounds fine if not doing it by the numbers…but Ashcroft sounds like …crap.
June 30, 2008 at 11:31 pmi saw the verve pipe cover “strawberry fields forever” at an hfstival and it was actually pretty rad.
