"Veil Veil Vanish is the darkest gem in the treasure chest of San Francisco's indie scene. Their debut EP, Into a New Mausoleum, has been praised for it's electric ambiance and a new LP is set for release in Summer 2009" - Noise Pop Music Festival
"Recently, the band completed their first southwest tour in support of their debut self-released EP, entitled “Into a new Mausoleum.” The EP, which has been described as a “seductive pop gem,” has already stirred the airwaves with its dance beats and high-rise choruses, and as one critic described “contains more musical anguish than The Cure.” - Zero Magazine
"What the Cure's Pornography would have sounded like if Neil Halstead (Slowdive) and Kevin Shields (My Bloody Valentine) were on guitars. In other words, Veil Veil Vanish successfully blend their strong post-punk sensibilities with a love for shoegaze soundscapes all interwoven into a cloudy & forboding atmosphere that brings a new edge to existential ennui." - Post-Punk.com
"There is a great desolation in Veil Veil Vanish, and what small glow does manage to pierce the gloom is sunless, more like the nimbus of a total eclipse than any kind of rational daylight." - West Coast Performer Magazine
”Veil Veil Vanish’s debut EP is a salient discharge of swirling, kinetic atmospheres punctured by deep bass lines and urgent, brusque guitars that brush against soft backdrops, threatening to tear them all down. Steeped in the darker corners of ’80s post-punk adherents, Veil Veil Vanish build brilliantly fevered songs that seduce with their lush, damaged anti-pop fixations." - Exclaim! Canadas Music Authority
"Into a New Mausoleum shows Veil Veil Vanish to be in thrall to the guitar sounds of the 80s underground. The San Francisco quartet has the vaguely gothic psychedelia of the Cure, Echo & the Bunnymen and the Chameleons down on these six tunes. Swirling guitars and Keven Tocon’s angst-ridden tenor dominate “What Will You Say Tonight” and “Shadows Dripping Like Honey Kissing,” while “All Hands in Prayer” dives deeply into the shoegazer/dream pop ocean." - High Bias

In March of 2007 Veil Veil Vanish completed a southwest tour in support of their debut, self-released EP titled, “Into a New Mausoleum, which combines dark, blissed out atmospherics, danceable drums and high-rise choruses turning these alluring soundscapes into seductive pop gems.
