The Verve’s physical and mental turmoil continued into the chaotic recording sessions of their second album, 1995’s A Northern Soul , produced by Owen Morris . The band departed from the experimental psychedelic sounds of A Storm in Heaven and focused more on conventional alternative rock, with Ashcroft’s vocals taking a more prominent role in the songs, although reminiscent of some of the early work. Around this period, Oasis guitarist and friend of Ashcroft Noel Gallagher dedicated the song ” Cast No Shadow ” on the album (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? to Ashcroft, who returned the gesture by dedicating the song “A Northern Soul” to Gallagher.
