The Veils - The Letter



Link.

Favorite lyrics: Go wash your heart in the river till the water runs clear.

There's a lot of vague mystery in this song, but the way it's played and sung, that mystique makes absolute sense. There's a film of gritty vocal emotion in it, too, and the song decodes itself through that. It speaks its own kind of language, a kind of calm but rushed impassioned purging. It mixes a classic rock, David-Bowie-era sound with something more modernized, which makes The Veils seem kind of ageless.

Reminds us of: Brandon Flowers' solo music
