Release Spotlight: The Verve - Forth
Artist: The Verve
Album: Forth

From their press kit:
“The Verve are here to provide you with an immaculately calibrated rock experience that will change your life forever...” Spin
Standout Tracks: “Sit and Wonder”, “Valium Skies”
Worth a second listen?:
Billboard thinks so:
“ ‘Forth’ is further highlighted by the dreamy ‘Judas,’ arguably one of the most beautiful songs the band has yet penned, and the anthemic ballad “Valium Skies,” a sure-fire future concert staple which is reminiscent of the hit ‘Lucky Man’ from 1997’s ‘Urban Hymns.’ ‘I See Houses’ muses on Ashcroft’s everyday surroundings while pivoting between the eerie vibes of 1995’s ‘A Northern Soul’ and the elegant emoting of ‘Urban Hymns.’”
I listened to this via an album stream which kinda blows - I like to skip around and also bring into the car for further pondering. But I did enjoy it on the various spins. Good music for background listening when doing other stuff and I would imagine would be good to see live.
