Review
: Sun Gangs is the third album from The Veils, a band with members from New Zealand, Germany and Britain. This time around it's a break-up album that find Finn Andrews ruminating about relationships and all the associated angst and frustration that go along with them.

With that as the backdrop, Sun Gangs provides a platform for The Veils to showcase their immense songwriting and arranging talents -- and as an opportunity for Andrews to display his tremendous vocal abilities; the Veils is what Rufus Wainwright would sound like if he formed an indie-band with Jeff Buckley.

Track highlights include "The Letter," "It Hits Deep," and "Sit Down by the Fire."
