The Veils: "Calliope"

I've got tix to see these guys (w/ Foreign Born opening!) in July at the Empty Bottle (same place I saw Passion Pit) and I'm getting real excited. If I had to put them in a genre, I guess I'd say Britpop. But the lyrics are heavier and less transparent than a lot of the current bands that fall into that category (see a number of songs off the most recent albums by the Kooks and Bloc Party, two bands that I normally love). Lots of existential, heaven/hell, God/devil-type stuff, which I love, put in an intelligent and poetic way. This is a great video for a great song off of Nux Vomica, a great album.
