Eluding tidy categorization, Seattle’s Midday Veil draws from an ever-deepening well of influences including krautrock, psych, folk, drone, blues, noise, new age, metal, and various kinds of non-western and traditional music.
The band began in 2008 as the duo of David Golightly (synths) and Emily Pothast (vocals + guitar). The current lineup includes Timm Mason on baritone guitar, Jayson Kochan on bass, and Chris Pollina on drums.
David and Emily are members of the Portable Shrines Collective and co-curated the Portable Shrines Magic Sound Theatre Vol. I compilation with Aubrey Nehring. They also give site-specific duo performances as Hair and Space Museum and are the co-founders of Translinguistic Other Recordings. Timm is also a sound artist who performs and records solo material as Mood Organ, while Jayson flies solo as Airport.
