One Piece at a Time - LP

Vinyl LP pressing. Since signing a record deal at the tender age of 16, Finn Andrews and his band The Veils have released 5 albums together, appeared in David Lynch's reboot of Twin Peaks, as well as on soundtracks by luminary film directors Tim Burton and Paolo Sorrentino, and was also recently been commissioned by the Belgian government to write a 20-minute orchestral piece to commemorate the antipodean dead of World War I. The songs here are more personal and self-exploratory than anything Andrews has previously attempted, an effort he says that wasn't necessarily deliberate but more a result of circumstance. "It's a lot more autobiographical than I intended." In addition to the songs' subject matter exposing more of his life than before, Andrews also admits that their arrangements allowed for less to hide behind, showcasing him in a different way. Dominated by Andrews' voice, the ten tunes here place him firmly front and center. "I felt a lot more exposed this time, as the instrumentation was certainly a lot sparser," he says.
