Finn Andrews One Piece at a Time CD

22 maart 2019

British/New Zealand musician, and lead singer andsongwriter of The Veils, Finn Andrews reveals his mostpersonal songwriting to date with the release of his firstsolo material. The resulting songs are some of the most profound and intimate pieces of work Andrews’ has done.Recorded at The Lab in Auckland, and co-produced by Tom Healy (Tiny Ruins), not only do the songs’ subject matter expose more of his life than before, Andrews also admits that their arrangements allowed for less to hide behind, showcasing his voice in a different way.
“I felt this record had been brewing for a long time, and there was a palpable sense of relief in finishing it, which I don’t often get,” says Finn. “This record marks a change in me. I feel like it’s taken me somewhere else. That’s kind of the spooky element of making albums: you think you’re making them but really they’re making and shaping you. I’m somewhere else now thanks to them, and it’s hard to know where they’ll leave me in the end. I had something I
felt I really needed to say, and I think for once I managed to say it. I do feel a small sense of pride in that.” “I’d been writing songs while I was making these Veils records, and I knew they didn’t quite fit into that world,” Andrews says. “I needed to leave London. It was making
me sick and I needed to get out, my relationship had broken down, so I went back to New Zealand. I had a feeling I’d be able to find the right people there to make the album, and it was as far away as I could go from where I was before, which felt necessary as well.”
