"The Tide That Left and Never Came Back" draws in close proximity to the musical prowess of Morrissey's entire catalogue. This is evident on the newest single "The Wild Son," mimicking the profitable sorrow of Coldplay's Chris Martin and its balladry. After several listens to the album, much of the songs sound very similar to successful British bands from before and after. Yet, The Veils' most cumbersome shortcoming is its inability to create its own distinct sound. The Veils' most peculiar asset is its adaptability to numerous different musical styles. Fronted by Finn Andrews, son of legendary XTC collaborator Barry Andrews, The Veils have just released its first album The Runaway Found, from the strength of its first three singles "The Wild Son," "Guiding Light," and "The Tide That Left And Never Came Back." Today, The Veils, a four-piece London band, have created enough stir to become the next big thing. Nevertheless, Britain has always left its musical throne partly vacant, awaiting the arrival of the next big thing. Such is the case for acts like Coldplay, Oasis, and (gasp) Morrissey, comfortable in their respected niche, seldom progressing or improving their cherished sound. Most of these bands went on to respectable success but lacked any vulnerable commitment to grow as artists. It's hard to be the new buzz band of Britain.
