Specials

Sometimes looking at music not only by checking out certain releases or what an artist says in an interview can lead to varying forms: Our Specials range from lengthy looks at scenes in certain places or at particular collectives releasing music in various shapes and formations. Furthermore we use our Specials page to host premieres for new music: Singles or videos but also sometimes even whole albums.

  • [Song Premiere] Age of Life - Epoch One

    542 million. 542 million years. Seems like a long time? Well, not if you are Chris Burda from Collapse Under the Empire and your new project tries to span that vastly spacious, amazingly long and undisputable unintelligible period. Welcome to Age of Life and their first single “Epoch One” premiered here on VoS just for you today!

  • [Video Premiere] Jarboe - Sightings

    Jarboe - a name that sounds like thunder from the mountains of Avantgarde or Experimental music. As longtime collaborator of a certain NYC-institution but also as a solo artist - she has played a major role in developing soundscapes, genres and a certain look at the world. Therefore we are more than happy to present you with the new single for her upcoming album Sightings - enjoy “The Holy Waters”!

  • [Video Premiere] The Shits - Diet of Worms

    The Shits gave us permission to premiere the video for their latest single “Thank You For Being A Friend” on Veil of Sound today.

  • [Song Premiere] Sugar Horse - Not a Sound in Heaven

    Sugar Horse. A band in a realm of their own. A realm where fun and seriousness, sarcasm and thoughtfulness are not opposites but euqal chunks of a soundscape of their own. That phrase; “of their own“ – hardly can it be applied more correctly than in the case of Sugar Horse. Thus we at VoS are happy to premiere their new video for “Ex-Human Shield“!

  • [Record Premiere] Toys that Kill - Triple Sabotage

    Well, there is that old discussion whether you need to know the real pioneers in order to understand any second, third, new, nu wave or whichever generation that follows.

  • [Record Premiere] To Die on Ice - Panoramica degli Abissi

    Don’t we all love a good Doomjazz record? A record with nice shifts and sways, with movement all across the registers of “blackened” Jazz parts slowly moving Doom-like to and fro, throwing us and our listening habits overboard every once in a while, or rather several times in a song? For all those out there, this full record premiere is just for you: To Die on Ice let us give you Panoramica degli Abissi!</b>

  • [Record Premiere] Enduser - Unquiet

  • [Label Special] Jeremy Moore - Saccharine Underground

    While ostensibly a nonprofit record label and DIY artist collective, characterized by a long-tailed series of experimental and underground releases, the Saccharine Underground is, to all intents and purposes, an umbrella for the various recording projects helmed by prolific Washington D.C. artist, Jeremy Moore.

  • [Record Special] Eugene S. Robinson - Eugene Sings!

    Remember what Rick Rubin did for Johnny Cash? Revitalize his career by letting him sing classic young and old accompanied mostly only by a very sparse acoustic-guitar centred instrumentation? Something similar can be witnessed by looking at the latest project by our beloved Eugene S. Robinson who will be releasing a covers record re-imagining classics by for example Sammy Davis Jr. As a very special gift for all our VoS-aficionados we got an exclusive text by Ako-Lite owner and long-time-Robinson intimate John Getze! Enjoy!
