"Love Is Noise" was the Verve's comeback calling card: the first single from Forth, their fourth album, and its second track. It went out as a download on 3 August 2008, with the UK physical release following on 11 August, after Zane Lowe gave it its first spin on BBC Radio 1 on 23 June. The video premiered on the band's Myspace page just ahead of release.
Richard Ashcroft sings and plays acoustic guitar and keyboards, Nick McCabe piles on guitar, keyboards, vibraphone and autoharp, Simon Jones plays bass, Peter Salisbury drums, and Davide Rossi adds violin. The band produced it, with Chris Potter mixing. It entered the UK Singles Chart at number five on downloads alone, climbed to four the next week and spent five weeks in the top 10, their first visit there since "Lucky Man" in 1997. Ireland, Italy and Sweden put it in their top 10 too.
