Phases & Stages

The Veils

Impressionable singer Finn Andrews masters his Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde routine on the Veils' third disc, splitting time between desolately romantic piano ballads ("Begin Again" and the title track) and dense indie rock detonations, most notably textured banjo freak-out "Three Sisters" and early U2 kiss-off "The Letter." Ecstatic, tumbling crapshoot "Killed by the Boom" takes the cake.
