A Storm In Heaven (CD)
The Verve
Amoeba Review
Joanna Ricco 05/26/2010
Conjuring images of sun-bleached debris bobbing ever so placidly across the Atlantic, the songs on The Verve’s full-length debut, 1993’s A Storm in Heaven, are atmospheric and even psychedelic. “Star Sail” sets the dreamy tone for this album, a sweeping ethereal song that floats by in reverie. “Make It Till Monday” is a hauntingly, even deliriously peaceful song in which the vocals are used more for building texture than in conveying any actual narrative. Tension swings, pulls, and tethers the kaleidoscopic instrumentation of “Make It Till Monday,” only to launch directly into “Blue,” the most structured song of the lot. In fact, the latter track has the most in common with the better-known future (the songs of A Northern Soul and Urban Hymns).
