new video from the verve! new video from the verve!
"Love is Noise" - so far in 2008, the re-ignited verve has been flawless, except for playing too many songs off Urban Hymns at the concert. The show was otherwise catapulting, the new songs so far are not ballads, and the album cover is what it should be. And now this stunning video, which puts Richard Ashcroft in one shadowy room, the rest of the band in another shadowy room and another room with a thing that has flames coming out.

new Verve song from upcoming album + official track list.
The Verve's new single, "Love Is Noise" is at their myspace. Upcoming album Forth is out August 19 via their own imprint On Our Own (brilliant!) distributed via Megaforce/MRI. "Love is Noise" was heard at the band's reunion tour dates, printed on the set list as "Disco." It had some electronic disco in it along with a killer background vocal loop which basically ruled. Most importantly, the song is not a slow ballad with acoustic guitar.
Official Tracklisting:
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

Even though it's been 10 years, it sure didn't feel that way. the verve was spot on and the magic was still there. after the DJ on stage spun typical annoying old soul junk (dude come on, not even some primal scream?) one of the best rock bands ever blew some minds. given that it's been 10 years, who knew what to expect or what the set list would be like. the band played and chose songs like it was only a couple years since the release of Urban Hymns and half the songs were from that last record. A couple of new songs were unveiled-- "Sit and Wonder," introduced by Ashcroft and "Disco," which was the title on the set list and as Ashcroft remarked "a soon to be classic." Oh yea, cocky. Fortunately, the new ones don't sound anything like the acoustic guitar-lead ballads off Hymns, where the Verve was drifting from its psychedelia.
The highlights (read: rocking out) were "A New Decade" (cause it was the first song), "This is Music" and "Gravity Grave." The last one was originally not on the set list, as Simon played a teaser bassline and Ashcroft had just grabbed an acoustic guitar. A bunch of people shouted out "Gravity Grave" and then Ashcroft was basically like, f*ck it, let's play it. He said it was going to be a "15 minute version" but it was only about half that, oh well. Of course--surprise, surprise--"Bittersweet" received the best response from the crowd and everyone in the seats were standing. Whatever. Anyway, Nick McCabe is the man. i didn't mention drummer peter or get any good photos of him so..peter you rule too.
in order - thanks to ben who got a set list.
