Midday Veil
About: Midday Veil
Known for dramatic performances as well as subtle, varied
recordings, Seattle experimental rock ensemble Midday Veil combines intense
vocals and cosmic synths with hypnotic rock grooves to produce music that
rewards careful listening and defies easy categorization.
The band began in 2008 as a collaboration between vocalist
and multimedia artist Emily Pothast and classically-trained pianist / analog
synth head David Golightly. In early 2009, Midday Veil's sound was catalyzed by
the addition of prolific multi-instrumentalist Timm Mason on baritone guitar,
bass, and modular synth. Bassist/guitarist Jayson Kochan joined the band in
2011, and in 2012, Garrett Moore replaced original drummer Chris Pollina. Percussionist
Sam Yoder has also performed and recorded as a member.
Midday Veil's debut studio album Eyes All Around (2010) and
ecstatic improvised cassette releases Subterranean Ritual II (2011) and
INTEGRATRON (2012) established the band as a multifaceted entity with roots in
synth pop, psychedelic rock and free improvisation. Produced by Randall Dunn
and featuring artwork by Robert Beatty, Midday Veil's 2013 studio LP The
Current harnessed the experimental intensity of earlier releases with an
intensified focus on songcraft. The Current found its way onto a number of
year-end lists, including a mention by The Wire as one of the top avant-rock
albums of 2013.
In 2014, the band returned to the studio with Randall Dunn
to record its third LP (and first with drummer Garrett Moore) This Wilderness,
was released in September 2015 on Brooklyn-based label Beyond Beyond is Beyond.
A strong live act, Midday Veil has toured the US regularly
since 2009, notably opening for krautrock legends Faust on a Northwest tour in
2012. Festival appearances have included SXSW, Bumbershoot, 35 Denton, Treefort
Festival, Hypnotikon Festival, LA Psych Fest and Vancouver Psych Fest.
