Forth Album by The Verve

Forth is the fourth and final studio album by the English rock band The Verve. It was released internationally on 25 August 2008 on EMI, and a day later in North America on the On Your Own label.[2] The band reformed in 2007, having broken up in 1999. Forth is their first album of new material since their 1997 album Urban Hymns.
The album's first single, "Love Is Noise", received its first airplay on BBC Radio 1 on 23 June 2008.[3] The song reached #4 on the UK Singles Chart and became a summer hit in Europe. The band also released a non-album track, "Mover", as a free digital download a week later.
