The Veils - Total Depravity music album review

Music Album Review: The Veils - "Total Depravity" (7/10)

It figures that outsider film directors such 
as David Lynch and Tim Burton would
 express their divine affinity for the surrealistic psych Goth of the Veils––a knack
 for the delightfully disturbing (or perhaps 
the disturbingly delightful) is their common 
thread.

But like their cinematic counterparts, the Veils sacrifice consistent, overall quality in favor of obtuse, uncompromising originality, transforming their velvety, glow-in-the-dark arrangements into zany science experiments, even when they should be emotional firecrackers. Listen with lights low and expectations discarded.

Score: 7 out of 10
