Fragile World Pale Blue Dot Edition LP

Following the critically acclaimed release ofAsphodels in 2025,The Veilsreturn with a bold and invigorated new album,Fragile World, out June 19 on V2 Records.Arriving just over a year after their last release,Fragile Worldmarks a striking shift in tone and energy for the band.Recorded live to tape in New Zealand by Paddy Hill, with production by Tom Healy Tiny Ruins, The Chills, Folk Bitch Trio,Fragile Worldcaptures The Veils in an urgent and instinctive mode.The albums title is both a reflection of the present moment a time in which many institutionsappear to becrumbling before our eyes and a metaphor for the act of creation itself. The process of making music, Andrews notes, is a delicate and fragile undertaking where thousands of small decisions gradually coalesce into a finished whole.We went into the studio with a lot of songs, butvery littleidea of the arrangements or instrumentation. It wastruly excitinghaving no idea what this record would sound like and only a few weeks to figure it out.Itsmostly Tom and I playing everything, with Joseph McCallum coming in at times. It was all very instinctual, quite fullon, and scary at times but a good kind of scary, not scary like the real world out there.With its immediacy, intensity, and emotional clarity,Fragile Worldstands as one of The Veils most compelling releases to date.
