David Emery OnlineThe Veils at the ICA
7 April 2009
Back in the tail end of deepest, darkest January I had probably the busiest day I’ve had for quite some time. I’d like to think that ‘busy’ is something I can deal with reasonably well, but the schedule for the day was pretty punishing:
11:00 – Go to the ICA where The Veils are filming a video to take some photos
14:00 – Hot-tail it over to Ladbroke Grove for a project meeting.
16:00 – Back to the ICA for more photo taking.
19:00 – Go straight from the ICA to see Blue Roses play St. Giles church (and take photos).
20:45 – Go to the BFI for BUG hosted by Adam Buxton.
Phew.
Luckily, all that running around has actually achieved something; yesterday saw the release of the new Veils album ‘Sun Gangs’ – which is really rather lovely – and if you look inside underneath the CD you’ll see a photo from the video shoot taken by me:
You can see the original photo here.
Isn’t that nice? Typically enough they picked a completely different photo to use then what I would have picked, but I guess it represents the band quite well – I much prefer tight close-ups at the moment, rather then wide ones (that photo was actually taken up on a balcony). Here’s the final video for reference:
And here are some of the unused photos from the shoot:
