...And Out of the Void Came Love is the sixth studio album by English-New Zealand rock band the Veils. The double album was the band's first in seven years, and includes a cover of Shriekback's "Cradle Song", a song originally written about Finn Andrews by his father Barry Andrews, which Andrews covered to commemorate the birth of his daughter.
Production
In 2018, band vocalist Finn Andrews returned from the United Kingdom to Auckland, New Zealand, in order to record his solo album One Piece at a Time (2019), later deciding to relocate permanently to New Zealand. Andrews broke his wrist during the album's tour, causing him to take his first break from touring in 20 years.[1] Much of the album was written during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, during which Andrews was anticipating the birth of his daughter.[1]
The album was recorded at Roundhead Studios, Paquin Studios, The Lab, Auckland and the Massey Performing Arts Center; all locations in Auckland, New Zealand. All songs on the album were written by Andrews, except for "Cradle Song", which is a cover of the 1984 song by Shriekback. As Andrews' father Barry Andrews had originally written the song to commemorate the birth of his son, Andrews decided to record a cover of the song to commemorate the birth of his own daughter.[2]
Release and promotion
"Undertow" was released as the first single from the album on 11 November 2022, paired with the official announcement of the album.[3] "Undertow" was followed by three further singles: "No Limit of Stars" in December,[4] "Time" on 1 January,[5] and "Bullfighter (Hand of God)" in late January.[6]
The band performed a nine date tour of New Zealand in March and April, ending at The Powerstation in Auckland on 1 April 2023.[3] This was followed by a 12-date European tour in June, which saw the band perform in the United Kingdom, Belgium, France, the Netherlands, Germany and Portugal.[6]
