Midday Veil

Known for intense multimedia performances as well as subtle, varied recordings, Seattle's Midday Veil draw from an ever-deepening well of influences including improvisation, krautrock, psych, noise, drone, folk, new age, metal, and a broad range of non-Western and traditional music. The band began in 2008 as the duo of David Golightly (synths) and Emily Pothast (vocals + guitar) and quickly expanded to include Timm Mason on lead baritone guitar and Chris Pollina on drums. In early 2011, the band recruited Jayson Kochan on bass guitar.

David and Emily are members of the Portable Shrines Collective, the co-founders of Translinguistic Other Recordings, and give site-specific duo performances as Hair and Space Museum. Timm performs and records solo material as Mood Organ, Jayson flies solo as Airport.
