“Lights Up” is the name of Thy Veils’ upcoming disk, the 6th studio album to be released later this year. It’s 3rd song “Many Waters” has just been uploaded for your listening pleasure and, hopefully, your feedback.
The previous disk (“Mountain and Cloud”) was Thy Veils’ first to include additional members, beside Daniel. For “Lights Up” the party is expanded even further. Please welkome: Ionut Dorobantu (exquisite guitar), Octavian Scurtu (drums, fx, field recordings, found sounds and other righteous things), Vlad Sturdza (free spirit guitar) and Dan Griober (celestial production).
Being consistently different from anything you’ve heard before from Thy Veils, “Many Waters” represents a clear sight on our new sound and, together with the other two songs, offers a larger picture of next album’s musical landscape.
Within the Ludic Ocean by Thy Veils
As we have to take into consideration the moment and implications of the new album release, here are some questions for you, your answers will be greatly appreciated.
- Any idea of a suitable label for the new album?
- If we release it by ourselves, any suggestions regarding promotion (an individual or agency to work with)?
