The Veils Releases New Song “Aurora”
New Zealand-based alt-rock band The Veils released the second single called “Aurora” from their upcoming eighth studio album “Fragile World” on April 24, 2026, following “Lungs” released back in February.
The album is set to be released on June 19, 2026 via V2 Records.
The song is accompanied by the Alexander Gandar-directed music video.
“Aurora” is an introspective, deceivingly stripped-back track with stunning depth. Driven by an unwavering piano and haunting layered vocals.
It was written by Finn Andrews and produced by Tom Healy.
The band frontman Finn Andrews said of the song, “This song was written as it was being recorded, which is a very rare thing for me. The day we made it, there was a huge geomagnetic storm over parts of New Zealand, and the pictures of the aurora that followed were in all the papers. Sometimes things are so beautifully simple.”- The new album comprise 10 tracks, which the band recorded live to tape in New Zealand by Paddy Hill, with production by Tom Healy. It captures The Veils in an urgent and instinctive mode.
The record is their first body of work since the 2025 album “Asphodels”.
Finn Andrews said of the album, “I make each album, generally, as a kind of atonement for the last. Asphodels was so quiet and introspective, I think I just wanted to make something strident and full of life for a goddamn change.” -
