THE VEILS | Live Session - The Ladder, The Tide That Left and Never Came Back & more (2025)

The Veils are an English–New Zealand indie/alternative rock band fronted by singer-songwriter Finn Andrews. Their music is often described as dark, literary, and emotionally intense, drawing from Southern Gothic aesthetics and blending moody textures with brooding melodies. In 2025, they released their seventh studio album, Asphodels. The album takes its name from the mythical underworld flower and explores Andrews’ recurring themes of love, death, and existential reflection.

The Veils visited Dutch television show "2 Meter Sessies" in 2025 and performed the following songs:

00:00 Mortal Wound
03:30 The Tide That Left and Never Came Back
06:45 The Ladder
09:58 O Fortune Teller
13:52 The Dream of Life

About 2 Meter Sessions
====================
Based in the Netherlands, 2 Meter Sessions is an independent, ongoing (new) music platform with a great legacy. Monthly we film 3 to 4 sessions with promising and breakthrough acts from all over the world.

Many well-known acts have visited the show; from James Taylor, Elliott Smith and David Crosby to Damien Jurado, Ben Howard and Josh Ritter, via Radiohead, Nirvana, Coldplay and Foo Fighters. Archive footage can regularly be seen in (theatrical) documentary movies, like “Mystify: Michael Hutchence” (with footage of our session with INXS, filmed in 1997), “Heaven Adores You” (with footage of our session with Elliott Smith, filmed in 1998) and “All I Can Say” (with footage of our session with Blind Melon, filmed in 1993).

The show started back in 1987 by radio presenter Jan Douwe Kroeske. On his popular national radio show he persuaded New-Zealand band Crowded House to play a couple of songs. The response of the public was so great, that 2 Meter Sessions quickly became a household name. In 1993, the show made a successful transition to national television. From there the show became a national phenomenon, for over 10 years, with filmed sessions of new talent, breakthrough acts and arrived career artists. Almost a million of 2 Meter Sessions cd’s were sold in the Netherlands.
