Daph Veil Channels Unfiltered Bedlam on Bloodsucker.

thisaktmusic

30 Sep, 2025

The music culture in Austin has always been built on the idea of experimentation, and with her latest single, Bloodsucker, Daph Veil (Paula Laubach's solo project) takes a chance at sonic unorthodoxy. Bloodsucker is an ominous and tempestuous piece about dysfunctional relationships that feels tethered to something solid but is only grounded by coarse rawness.

Bloodsucker opens with a bluesy riff, something that feels oh-so-smooth and sexy before all hell breaks loose as the infectious riff gives way to an angry downpour of alt-rock aggression, shoegaze haze, and electronic blips. The progressions mirror what happens in an unhealthy relationship, what starts charming and lustful quickly devolves into chaos.

Heart-thumping drums by Joe Valadez crash against Laubach's thick vocal layers and grating textures that refuse to let any tension release. The duality and variability of vocal delivery can be calm to reckless, exemplifying what happens when things start to seem nothing like the façade of truth, a dichotomy that Laubach skillfully culls through vivid lyrical condemnation by Rebecca Price.

Recorded at Austin’s Ice Cream Factory Studio by Matt Parmenter, the track is polished enough to showcase its various textures but raw enough to maintain its intensity. This is music not made for comfort, but to confront. Bloodsucker is not background music; it commands your attention. Daph Veil has delivered a release for fans of alternative music that both feels cathartic and uncomfortable.
