About this item

Following the acclaim of "The Current," listed by THE WIRE among the best avant-rock albums of 2013, MIDDAY VEIL return with "This Wilderness," a 7-track opus filled with mysteries of cosmic proportions. Songwriter Emily Pothast gives voice to these mysteries with an uncanny, poetic presence, while the outsized synth wizardry of co-founder David Golightly dazzles under the influence of everything from Stockhausen to Donna Summer's "Love to Love You Baby." The intricate percussion of Garrett Moore, driving bass of Jayson Kochan & explosive, reptilian guitar lines of multi-instrumentalist Timm Mason provide a distinctive foundation for these animated, infectious songs. Features guest spots from BERNIE WORRELL (PARLIAMENT, FUNKADELIC), EYVIND KANG & SKERIK. Produced by Randall Dunn.
