Anthony Childs The clerk slides an extra VHS tape in your stack, unseen by other customers. He doesn't charge you extra. At home you watch, transfixed. Images. No dialogue. Audio beyond your stereo's capability. You see yourself in scenes. You can't tell if you're asleep or awake, even when you are flying above the city, being followed by...something. You're staring at the TV. The tape is not in the machine, or anywhere else. You return to the store. The clerk ignores you but slides a video across the counter. Favorite track: Mai Swarmer.

Frauke Hunckle RDT Utterly compelling! What an amazing find. Intrigued by their wonderful name (Several Wives - genius moniker in my opinion), this recording is a slow tense walk into the inner workings of imaginative space. Its electronic-ness is cleverly understated, favouring instead to bring the more analogue idea of 'tape' to the fore - lush warmth and speckles of light follow. As a 38min listen, it really works, and I love its power to suffuse the day with feeling. I'm a big fan now!

about

Veil on Veil is the fourth album from experimental act, Several Wives. Veil on Veil continues the deeply cathartic explorations into doom, electro-acoustic, and outsider classical that have become synonymous with their work.

Several Wives is undoubtedly the most enigmatic artist Lost Tribe Sound has attempted to pair words with. The more one struggles to describe it, the more it evades. Words like dark, sinister, disturbing only seem to address a surface understanding of the dynamics at play, as with each listen new emotions are revealed like half-remembered days of a haunted childhood.

Veil on Veil presents an amorphous sound, somewhere between a solid and liquid. Depending on your mood going in, it can take you down various pathways (like when your friend told you, stay positive and this trip won’t turn sour). This is music that heavily invites a narrative without being beholden to it. It finds just as much satisfaction bathing in its own filth as it does bringing its believers to the light. It’s music made of dungeonous booms and clatter exquisitely paired with sepia-toned strings and other cloaked sonics.

Here at Lost Tribe Sound, Several Wives have made a huge impact on our musical taste since first discovering the release, Göldi Fell. It has led us down the rabbit hole to all sorts of ritual music, minimal rhythmic ambient, cult film soundtracks, and various other lost compositions. Having now spent days listening to works of Several Wives, what remains is perhaps the music’s most curious property. For all the exchange between the darkness and the light brought on by these mood-heavy formations, the line between the two now feels more blurred than ever, and that may be its best illusion of all. 

Veil on Veil arrives as a glass mastered CD housed inside a A5 size hard cover book. Each edition contains 8 pages of artwork. Mastered by Mark Beazley. Limited to 100 editions.

"Veil On Veil's vaporous sepia shades do not fail to emanate an oblique, inscrutable charm." - (translated from Italian) MUSIC WON'T SAVE YOU


"This enigmatic project again shows a dark, mysterious sound that nestles between dark ambient, industrial, doom, drones, avant-garde, moody orchestrations and experimental music. That happens in such a way that everything takes you along like an exciting thriller." - (translated from Dutch) (JW Broek) DE SUBJECTIVISEN

"Several Wives offer up thirteen dissonant, clanging, cinematic slices of ritual like dark ambience, hauntological discoveries and occasional dashing’s of folk shone through an experimental prism." - DRIFTING, ALMOST FALLING
