Band Of Susans - Veil
Review by Shawn Ann Griffith
Veil is an album by the New York-based alternative rock band, Band of Susans. Released in 1988, the album features a unique blend of shoegaze, noise rock, and post-punk elements. The band's signature sound is characterized by its use of multiple guitars and intricate layering of sounds.
The opening track, "Now Is Now," sets the tone for the album with its driving rhythm and ethereal guitar work. The next track, "Child of the Moon," features a catchy melody and soaring guitar riffs. "The Pursuit of Happiness" is a standout track with its haunting vocals and pulsating bassline.
Throughout the album, the band showcases their ability to create complex and dynamic arrangements. The instrumental track "Tilt" is a prime example of this, with its shifting time signatures and intricate guitar interplay.

Una delle canzoni piu belle che abbia mai ascoltato.

Just found this band and I am incredibly moved by this song.

I wonder if Robert Pollard is a fan? Late era GBV holds some serious similarities in melody and guitar sound.

I actually bought the Carvin Bass amp they used from a small NYC guitar shop. Still have it

Been a huge fan of BoS since the nineties when they actually had three women named Susan in the band!

I just discovered Band of Susans. They sort of remind me of Morella's Forest. If you like Band of Susans, you'll probably like Morella's Forest, too.

"Sometimes I lose a day without a trace. A veil of shadows falls across my face. My vision fades. But I see you clearly, as you walk away. I see you clearly, as you walk away." xob!

I remember Susan as a very pretty, feminine woman but on stage she just wore a t-shirt, jeans and sneakers, she looked like some wild boy. This group had excellent female members such as Annie, too, this was a great "guitar band" and it was like watching a small tornado on stage when they played, everyone was moving around and it was this massive wall of sound.

I had heard of female rockers, Pat Benatar, Joan Jett but where in blazes was Susan Stenger, she's AWESOME!!! Maybe its because growin' up in the beehive state, them LDS'ers practiced censureship on certain groups, like the IRIE Reggae groups, i had no idea they existed 'til '83 when i came down south to mexico,...many thanx for the share Beautiful! =)

He is also a nice, decent person. He is very kind. Oh, a little gossip -- his apartment in NY was like out of a James Bond movie. That was a fully functioning babelair. He just always had this damp, rotten towel in the bathroom, how I teased him! I was homeless for a bit and he let me couch surf, he didn't judge me, this guy is a honey.

I knew both Robert Poss and Susan Stenger and it was magic what they did, you cannot believe how good this group was live. They had almost no fans, it was sad. This is probably my fave song -- Susan wrote it.

For some reason, I didn't care for their early recordings. For me, they then bloomed and I was floored by the power of this group, recorded and live. It was great to turn people on to them. This song always gets me weepy. I really encourage people to find any of their recordings. Shared and favorited.

In many ways, this is my favorite song they did -- best one about depression I think I've ever heard. Awesome group live. Was a pleasure to know and to boost them. Shared. Favorited.

How could they have not made a video for "Mood Swing"? That song ROOOOLLLS.

So nice...

Great band. I saw them in the UK opening for Throwing Muses in 1989. Mad coincidence... today I bought a copy of "The Master & Margarita" for a friend's birthday... then I get home thinking about Band of Susans... there must be some kind of cosmic connection :)
