These guys are still criminally underrated. The only reason I can think of that they haven't reached instant-classic status like Big Thief did recently is that The Veils were too early for the "Instagram Alternative" wave of the late 2010's, too late for New Wave, too sophisticated for NuPunks, too much edge for the chunky granola types, and born on the wrong continent to be popular in America, and to top it off they seem to shy away from interviews and publicity just like Gene Clark post-Byrds. Finn Andrews is easily as good of a songwriter as Gene Clark or Tom Petty, and every member of the remaining band is top-tier support, with particular talent from the lead guitarist Dan Raishbrook who always adds the right flair like Johnny Greenwood does with Radiohead. I pray they come back with another album and promote the hell out of it.
Best brand ever. IMO. Massively underrated as well. The guy is a living genius.
Gyönyörű, szenzációs az énekhang, és az együttes! Köszönöm! Nagyon tetszik, A38 Vibes köszönöm!

I can only totally agree with you, my friend! This band is great! The album is out if you've missed out on it and it is as great as ever
Absolutely agree with this. He is like a Christ archetype in music IMO!
