English\/Kiwi rock outfit The Veils have cast a light on their impending seventh studio album titled ‘Asphodels’ by releasing a new single ‘The Ladder’ in tandem with a visually captivating music video.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fronted by singer and songwriter Finn Andrews<\/a>, The Veils’s newest composition gained inspiration from the works of Dutch painter Hieronymus Bosch who, according<\/a> to Artnews, was known to “create restlessly imaginative works rich in religious symbolism, allegory, and fantastical elements depicted in bustling scenes across expansive compositions.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On this outing, Finn Andrews’ mellow vocals seamlessly glide over lush piano arrangments, passive drums, rumbling bass plucks, and orchestral string segments (violin, cello, viola), sculpting a grandiose alterative-rock composition. Its music video, filmed at Parihoa on the west coast of Auckland, was directed by filmmaker Tu Neill with cinematography from Ben Montgomery, framing a wide shot of a seaside in a monochrome display moving in symmetry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Via press release, director Tu Neill explained the concept of the video, stating, “When Finn first sent me the track, I kept thinking about big, beautiful landscape paintings and how many times I’ve looked at that view and how surreal it appears, like a painting. The song has a beautiful simplicity and is really stripped back like much of the album so it felt appropriate to make a video that reflected that pared-back feeling. We joked about how this must be what middle age is like. Less noise, more to the point, and feeling at ease with letting things speak for themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
