Aug 26, 2016While it doesn’t quite reach the songwriting highs and wrenching lows of 2006’s Nux Vomica (few things do), Total Depravity avoids the dead spots that have plagued the Veils’ last two records by ensuring that atmosphere of dread remains consistent.
-
Aug 25, 2016Even if the more ambitious tracks come off as grandiose to some, no one will be able to deny The Veils' fearsome commitment to the material.

Sep 29, 2016With Total Depravity, though, they’ve stepped up a level--with co-producer El-P ushering in psych synth squelches and creepy gospel (the epically titled Do Your Bones Glow At Night) and on the magnificent Low Lays The Devil a vintage blues squal equal to the Black Keys.

Aug 25, 2016The Veils are specialists in a songcraft where the traditional is aided by the current in order to explore new sonic realms. The album, which took nearly two years to take shape, is delicately spun rather than cobbled together, and makes for treasured listening.

Aug 25, 2016While Andrews may lack the late singer/songwriter's [Jeff Buckley's] angelic pipes, he shares his knack for making the darkness in all of us feel both hopeless and sexy.
-
Q MagazineSep 6, 2016When it does threaten to bud into genuinely odd forms--the title track's sinuous distortions, or a sudden swerve into pop seduction on Do Your Bones Glow At Night--it doesn't stick. [Oct 2016, p.113]
