VEIL OF LIGHT - Love And Money (Official Video)

The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere the new music video for “Love And Money” from Zurich’s VEIL OF LIGHT. After two years since they released the excellent album Inflict LP, the band returns to AVANT Records! with another impressive release, Landslide.

Their fifth full-length and definitely their most complex album features ten new songs finding the perfect balance between the Coldwave intimate atmosphere and synthpop catchy melodies, creating a new sense of emotional intimacy with their profound innermost lyrics. Musically speaking The Swiss duo draws their influences right in between New Order’s moodiness and The Klinik, trying one softer, less brutal approach to their Electro.

This is the kind of record that takes its time, and takes its toll, we just need to sit down and listen because there's much to discover.

Out April 2nd on digital format + vinyl, Pre-order here.
