Nux Vomica, The Veils' second album released in 2006, was recorded in Laurel Canyon and produced by Nick Launay, reflecting influences from Nick Cave. Darker and heavier than their debut The Runaway Found, it features standout tracks like "Jesus for the Jugular," "Not Yet," and the title track, alongside more accessible singles "Advice for Young Mothers to Be" and "One Night on Earth." Jane Scarpantoni's string arrangements add depth, notably on "Calliope!" where keyboards and strings overshadow guitars.
