At VEGA, The Veils combine rock and roll with poetry
The Veils made their glorious return to the stage in 2023/24 with sold out shows across Europe, North America & Australasia in celebration of their 2023 release.
The new album title Asphodels (2025) takes its name from the Ancient Greek flower of the Underworld, and lyrically, Andrews draws more from the great poets than he does from the well of more traditional rock and roll songwriters. This is a record that possesses the quiet, hard-earned confidence of restraint and that carefully chooses its moments to lift the roof and howl up to the heavens.
The collaboration between Andrews and string arranger Victoria Kelly is a central aspect of the record, and as with the band’s previous album And Out Of The Void Came Love (2023), Kelly plays an integral role in bringing the songs to life.
The band have toured consistently throughout their over twenty-year history and garnered a formidable reputation as one of the world’s greatest live bands. As well as a fruitful collaboration with Run the Jewels’ El-P for their 2016 album Total Depravity, they have also been praised by film directors Paolo Sorrentino, Tim Burton and David Lynch who have all used their music on their soundtracks.
