The album title 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, Kelly plays an integral role in bringing the songs to life.
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 …And Out Of The Void Came Love.
