11:07 The Mixtape

Kiwi/British musician Finn Andrews is primarily known as the lead singer and songwriter for London based indie/alternative band The Veils. The band has released 5 studio albums and last year saw Finn step out on his own and release his highly anticipated solo album One Piece at A Time.

The album was recorded here in New Zealand and featured some of our top talents. Tiny Ruins' Cass Basil (bass), Alex Freer (drums), and Tom Healy (co-production) made up his band, with Reb Fountain and Nina Siegler on backing vocals, and string arrangements provided by Victoria Kelly.

Finn joins us on the Mixtape to dish on all his favorite songs, and THAT appearance on Twin Peaks.
