Review

Q (3/04, p.113) - 4 stars out of 5 - "'Talk Down The Girl' is dark, emotive and fabulously moody. An assured first step."
Uncut (3/04, p.87) - 4 stars out of 5 - "There's a new skinny giant in town. Intoxicating."
Magnet (p.67) - Ranked #17 in Magnet's "The 20 Best Albums Of 2004" - "[A] disarming debut..."

Title Note

The Veils: Finn Andrews (vocals, guitar); Oli Drake (guitar); Adam Kinsella (bass); Ben Woollacott (drums).

Producers: Bernard Butler, Matthew Ollivier, Ken Nelson.

This 2004 Rough Trade debut by the Veils showcases a sound born out of English post-punk and 1990s American alt-rock. Fronted by guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter Finn Andrews (son of Barry Andrews of XTC and Shriekback fame), the Veils feature his throaty, impassioned vocals and emo-leaning songsmithery as their focus.

On THE RUNAWAY FOUND, the band delivers on the promise of its stylistic amalgam. Andrews flirts with British jangle-pop on cuts such as "The Wild Son" and "The Tide That Left and Never Came Back," rocks hard on the angst-laden "More Heat Than Light," and tries his hand at melancholic balladry on "The Valleys of New Orleans." Crypto-poetic lyrics and interlocking guitar lines bolstered by clean, large-scale production (by Suede's Bernard Butler on four tracks) lend atmosphere to Andrews's tunes, as do the tastefully applied strings, giving the Veils a Radiohead-esque rock aura.
