Breaking a 7-year hiatus, The Veils make a striking return with the release of ‘And Out of the Void Comes Love.’
Recorded in New Zealand, the double album is the result of a tumultuous period of injury, isolation, and new life. Andrews crafted the music slowly and deliberately, playing the left and right hands' piano parts separately to construct the album around his injury and evoke his emotion through every chord. It is an album intended to be listened to in two sittings with a short break in the middle, or as Andrews instructs: “Make a coffee or smoke a cigarette – but don’t mow the lawn or go to the movies or something, that takes too long.”
Composer Victoria Kelly’s soaring string arrangements play an integral role in bringing the songs to life, as do musicians Cass Basil (bass), Dan Raishbrook (lap steel, guitar), Liam Gerrard (piano), Joseph McCallum (drums) the NZTrio and special guests the Smoke Fairies on backing vocals.
