Seattle’s Midday Veil has announced that their new LP, This Wilderness, will be released September 11th on Beyond Beyond is Beyond Records. A follow-up to 2013’s The Current, it’s a realization of self, size, and scope, told through the band’s cosmic, experimental brand of synth rock. You can stream lead single “Babel” — which features Bernie Worrell (Parliament-Funkadelic/Takling Heads) on clavinet & organ.
Mysterious and compelling, This Wilderness finds Midday Veil, Emily Pothast and David Golightly, some longtime friends of East Portland Blog, embracing the full potential and endless possibilities of their sound, with the help of guests like composer Eyvind Kang, saxophonist Skerik, percussionist Tor Dietrichson, and composer/multi-instrumentalist Steve Moore. The album is bursting with creativity and exploration, but remains focused, disciplined, and eloquent.
