The veils

The veils

Hailing from London via New Zealand, The Veils are an indie/alternative band making music that's both new and classic sounding. With Three records now under their belt they are a solid outfit that i am sure,will stand the test of time...

Nux Vomica was the breakthrough record for the trio and was at the top end of year end lists in the year of its release (06/07). Now they have a (not so) new (released in April) record. Titled Sun Gangs it must have been hard to write after the critical success of Nux Vomica, but it not only lives up to the predecessor but also stands apart in terms or direction and has this extra level in sound and production.

Folks have drawn similarities to front man Finn Andrews with people like Nick Cave and Ian Curtis and he has the abilities to back up their claim along with the story telling and intriguing lyrics. Sun Gangs is a great powerful record and one that gets better with every listen, opener 'Sit down by the fire' brings the album to life at first beat and single 'The Letter' shows the band can do the poppy thing if need be.
