Urban Hymns

The Verve · 1997

Urban Hymns is a 1997 rock record made in London with strict studio discipline, then reshaped by Nick McCabe’s return and re-recorded guitar parts. Its biggest hit rests on an uncleared string sample. It landed at UK number 1, displaced Oasis, and dissolved the band within two years.
