What The Verve Team Are Watching and Listening To

Here is a list of what our amazing team are watching and listening to keep themselves entertained.

Jude | Co-Editor

What am I watching?

Unorthodox traces a woman’s escape from a Hasidic Jewish community in Brooklyn. A must see on Netflix.

What I am listening to?

My go to morning music whilst baking is Sit with a slouch by Aaradhna and Lux Aeterna  (Requiem For a Dream) by William Close & The Earth Harp Collective.

Fran | Co-Editor

What I am watching?

‘Home Before Dark’, AppleTV+. 

Inspired by the true story of nine-year-old Hilde Lysiak, this series is co-directed and executive produced by Jon M Chu (also behind the very different Crazy Rich Asians). A family moves away from New York, returning to their journalist father’s small, sleepy town of his youth. Determined to become a reporter herself, Hilde starts asking uncomfortable questions – and digs out an old kidnapping case that nobody wants to revisit. Even the fact that the investigation might involve her own father doesn’t deter her from pursuing the scoop.  Don’t be fooled into thinking that this is only for youngsters for ‘Home Before Dark,’ will draw you in and keep you watching and wanting more.

 

What am I listening to?

‘Womb’, Purity Ring.

This album – Megan James and Corin Roddick’s third, and their first in five years – revolves around the idea of finding a place of comfort in one’s home. It’s a sentiment that much of the world can get behind right now.  Easy listening and great background music, especially for those yoga stretches many of us currently doing at home.

What I am watching?

The Office isn’t just one of my all-time favourite TV shows, but one of my most favourite things, ever. Hadn’t seen too much of the US version, so am currently rectifying that, and very much enjoying doing so.

 

What I am listening to?

My partner recently watched the Nina Simone documentary on Netflix, so her music’s been mainly hogging the stereo lately, which is just fine by me.

 

Stay safe everyone,

Jamie

What am I watching?

I haven’t been watching much lately but I have been playing Animal Crossing. My eyes are glued to the screen lol

What am I listening to?

I’ve had Fine by Melodownz and Keke Boy by Diggy Dupe on repeat! Also going down the rabbit hole of KK Slider covers.

AJ | Social Media

What am I watching?
Currently obsessed with The Circle on Netflix, which is basically a social experiment where a group of people can only get to know each other through who they portray themselves as on social media – and they have to try to become the most popular person in the group to win. But some of them are portraying themselves as someone else – it’s just a pretty interesting show with the social media age that we live in. Also just finished The Stranger which was a really good thriller series. For anyone that likes ‘Gone Girl’, you’d really enjoy it.
What am I listening to?
Currently on a My Chemical Romance buzz after missing out on their show which was meant to be last month but got postponed due to the lockdown 🙁 Have their ‘Danger Days’ album on repeat at the moment.

What I am listening to?

Song-wise I’ve been loving listening to “King’s Rant” by Masego and “Butterflies” by Kasey Musgraves.
