We Say...
Caution: here be demons. The second record from New Zealand group The Veils is gripped with an unholy kind of power: organs shriek and guitars charge and vocalist Finn Andrews howls and preaches and exorcises over top. It's a Sunday sermon gone berzerk, each passionate parable gradually building to a frenzied climax. The group has had a tempestuous lifespan: the group splintered after just three years in 2004, and when Andrews regrouped with old schoolmates two years later he summarily abolished the breezy (and, let's say it, boring) jangle-pop that characterized their debut. In its place was haunting, charred-wreckage gospel-rock, with all the eeriness of a hundred million birthday candles blazing in a black room. Comparisons to the Birthday Party and 16 Horsepower are obvious, but The Veils terrifying visions are never less than their own.
