London Band of the Week no. 2: The Veils

This band aren't new. They're not London born and bred either. But they're new to me, and many of you too I can imagine. While not household names they have spent most of their career signed to Rough Trade Records. They have just released their first recordings since leaving the label, with an E.P called Troubles Of The Brain.

Finn Andrews is from New Zealand, based in London and is the man behind this band, working with a changing group of musicians. You can get the whole story on wikipedia.

The E.P is beautiful. It's confident, driving and haunting. Simply acoustic at times, at others building, swirling in a celebratory manner.

I try and avoid comparisons but I'm getting bits of Arcade Fire, but not anything that would put you off. Organic, brash instrumentation I suppose. Good music anyway. See what you think.
