'''''...And Out of the Void Came Love''''' is the sixth [[studio album]] by English-New Zealand rock band [[the Veils]]. The [[double album]] was the band's first in seven years, and includes a cover of [[Shriekback]]'s "Cradle Song", a song originally written about [[Finn Andrews]] by his father [[Barry Andrews (musician)|Barry Andrews]], which Andrews covered to commemorate the birth of his daughter.
==Production==
In 2018, band vocalist [[Finn Andrews]] returned from the United Kingdom to [[Auckland]], New Zealand, in order to record his solo album ''One Piece at a Time'' (2019), later deciding to relocate permanently to New Zealand. Andrews broke his wrist during the album's tour, causing him to take his first break from touring in 20 years.<ref name="Stuff">{{cite web|url=https://www.stuff.co.nz/entertainment/music/131310857/how-injury-isolation-and-a-little-miracle-inspired-the-veils-new-album |title=How injury, isolation and a little miracle inspired The Veils' new album |date=25 February 2023 |first=Grant |last=Smithies|website=[[Stuff (website)|Stuff]] |access-date=28 October 2023}}</ref> Much of the album was written during the [[2020 COVID-19 pandemic]], during which Andrews was anticipating the birth of his daughter.<ref name="Stuff"/>
The album was recorded at [[Roundhead Studios]], Paquin Studios, The Lab, Auckland and the Massey Performing Arts Center; all locations in Auckland, New Zealand. All songs on the album were written by Andrews, except for "Cradle Song", which is a cover of the 1984 song by [[Shriekback]]. As Andrews' father [[Barry Andrews (musician)|Barry Andrews]] had originally written the song to commemorate the birth of his son, Andrews decided to record a cover of the song to commemorate the birth of his own daughter.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rnz.co.nz/national/programmes/music101/audio/2018880415/from-father-to-son-to-daughter-finn-andrews-touching-family-legacy-in-the-veils-new-album |title=From father to son to daughter: Finn Andrews' touching family legacy in the Veils' new album |date= 4 March 2023 |website=[[Radio New Zealand]] |access-date=28 October 2023}}</ref>
