I liked The Veils from the first moment I heard them. Lead singer/songwriter Finn Andrews with his rough-sugar vocals and songs that evoke times past in their absence of material objects and popular culture, stood out from the rest of the crowd. The album was 2004's The Runaway Found, but coming soon, (Sept. 11th) will be the new record, Nux Vomica (Rough Trade). A record which will, from the sounds of it, boast a more unified band approach to the songwriting. Andrews is the sole surviving member from the original Veils, now joined by Sophia Burn (Bass) and Liam Gerrard (Piano/organ).Here's the title track from the upcoming release and two great songs from The Runaway Found.
