...And Out of the Void Came Love

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.{{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 |access-date=28 October 2023}} Much of the album was written during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, during which Andrews was anticipating the birth of his daughter.

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 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.{{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}}
