Total Depravity, the fifth album by English indie rock quintet The Veils, is brilliantly haunting and ruefully grim. Fans of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds and latter day Tom Waits will find much to love on this album, as the band’s chilly instrumentation and frontman Finn Andrews’ theatrical vocals evoke the Gothic tinge of the former, while the singer’s lyricism hews close to the devilish weirdness of the latter.

It’s hard to imagine how Paul Banks (the brooding lead singer of Interpol) and RZA (the de-facto leader of Wu-Tang Clan) ever came together as friends or musicians, but it’s a fairly simple story of admiration and mutual respect.
