The Veils return with their highly anticipated fourth album Time Stays, We Go, released on 3rd June through their own Pitch Beast Records imprint.
Watch the video for 'Turn From The Rain' recorded at Abbey Road studios below.
Recorded at Seedy Underbelly Studios in Laurel Canyon, Los Angeles and produced by lead singer/songwriter Finn Andrews and Adam Greenspan, Time Stays, We Go marks the beginning of a captivating new era for the band hailed as "The best and most unsettling thing I've seen in music this year" by The LA Times and "… the most underrated band on the planet" by NME.
Returning to the same studio where they made their critically acclaimed album Nux Vomica in 2006, the band have again been inspired by both California's physical & musical landscape.
The band tempted seminal English producer Bill Price (The Clash, Jesus & Mary Chain) out of retirement to mix the record to tape at Metropolis Studios in London, lending the album a richly analogue sound, rarely heard in popular music today.
Finn has had a life consistently surrounded by music. His father Barry Andrews was one of the founding members of new wave pioneers XTC and also collaborated with Iggy Pop, David Bowie and Robert Fripp in the 1980's – but it wasn't until Finn moved to New Zealand with his mother in his teens that he started writing songs of his own. At 17 years old he returned to London and formed The Veils and has been touring and releasing records ever since.
It is with his band's fourth effort however, that the exceptional promise he has always displayed as a singer/songwriter has come to fruition.
Andrews explains; "Adam Greenspan & also Nick Launay (producer The Bad Seeds, Yeah Yeah, Yeahs) helped me sort through them all and separate the good from the… not so good. I write almost every day so it was quite incredible the sheer quantity of ramblings I'd managed to accumulate in three years."
The Veils are to play this year's Great Escape festival and will headline the Scala on July 9th.
Tickets for the Scala show go on sale this Friday 12th April.
Live dates:
16-18th May - Brighton, The Great Escape
