Following the critically acclaimed release of Asphodels in 2025, The Veils return 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 World marks 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 World captures The Veils in an urgent and instinctive mode.

The album's title is both a reflection of the present moment - a time in which many institutions appear to be crumbling 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, but very little idea of the arrangements or instrumentation. It was truly exciting having no idea what this record would sound like and only a few weeks to figure it out. It's mostly Tom and I playing everything, with Joseph McCallum coming in at times. It was all very instinctual, quite full-on, 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 World stands as one of The Veils' most compelling releases to date.
