About
Created by frontman Finn Andrews when he was only 16 years old and loved by directors such as Tim Burton, Paolo Sorrentino and David Lynch, who have often included them in the soundtracks of their films, The Veils are preparing to return on tour with their new album Asphodels, their seventh studio album.
The new album is named after the asphodel, the flower that in Ancient Greece represented the realm of the Underworld. As far as the lyrics of the tracks are concerned, Andrews has taken inspiration more from the great poets than from rock songwriting: this is a record that brings in the tranquillity and restraint long desired and carefully chooses the moments when to blow the roof off and shout to the heavens.
The collaboration between Andrews and string arranger Victoria Kelly is a central aspect of this work, and as was the case with earlier ...And Out of the Void Came Love, Kelly plays a key role in bringing these songs to life.
. Over the past two decades, The Veils have earned a solid reputation as one of the bands not to be missed live. Its founder and frontman Finn Andrews has been called by Drowned in Sound ‘one of the best songwriters of his generation
