TIME STAYS, WE GO The Veils (Universal) Kiwi-raised indie oddball Finn Andrews returned to the LA studio that gave birth to The Veils’ 2006 hit album Nux Vomica for the band’s fourth full-lengther and the result is wonderfully weird. Make no mistake, there’s very litte mainstream top-10 hit material here but Andrews’ unstoppable song-writing (he claims to write every day and had to pare back hundreds of tracks to find these 10) allows for him to hit the off-beat from a number of different directions – mariachi horns, heavy reverbed guitars, 17th century English poets and a fairytale song about birds all feature.
