The Veils return after the release of their critically acclaimed album Sun Gangs on Rough Trade Records last year and a string of sell-out shows in Europe and North America, with a new 6 song EP to be released on 24th January 2011.
The sessions were recorded at lead singer/songwriter Finn Andrews’ home studio in London over the summer and were overseen by producer Bernard Butler (Suede, The Libertines). Subjects covered include the pop music staples of love, betrayal, addiction and death – with bees, original sin and iPhones thrown in for good measure.
From the Bolan-esque bustle of Don’t Let the Same Bee Sting You Twice to the joyous The Stars Came Out Once The Lights Went Out , The Troubles of the Brain EP showcases Andrews’ maturing song writing talent, and The Veils at their poppy and unpredictable best.
