The process of making music, Andrews notes, is a delicate and fragile undertaking where thousands of small decisions gradually coalesce into a finished whole. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“We went into the studio with a lot of songs, but very little idea of the arrangements or instrumentation. It was truly exciting having no idea what this record would sound like and only a few weeks to figure it out. It’s mostly Tom and I playing everything, with Joseph McCallum coming in at times. It was all very instinctual, quite full-on, and scary at times - but a good kind of scary, not scary like the real world out there.” \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith its immediacy, intensity, and emotional clarity, Fragile World stands as one of The Veils’ most compelling releases to date. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrack listing:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLP\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSide A\u003cbr\u003e1.      Aurora\u003cbr\u003e2.      High Hopes\u003cbr\u003e3.      Lungs\u003cbr\u003e4.      Are You Awake Tonight?\u003cbr\u003e5.      New Day\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSide B\u003cbr\u003e1.      Little White Bird (Fragile World)\u003cbr\u003e2.      The Widening Dark\u003cbr\u003e3.      My Foolish Heart\u003cbr\u003e4.      These Are the Days\u003cbr\u003e5.      In this Heart\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Volcanic Vinyl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53389034815788,"sku":null,"price":62.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0759\/3947\/9852\/files\/The_Veils_-_Fragile_World_Vinyl_2_540x_454bfd24-0974-4a50-81bb-1fc1ff736b56.jpg?v=1782797399","url":"https:\/\/volcanicvinyl.co.nz\/products\/the-veils-fragile-world","provider":"Volcanic Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
