“I don’t need no southbound highway sign to tell me HELL IS REAL”.

This opening line from the debut single “New Tongue” launches us into the sophomore album Glass Fate by the Chicago based Desert Liminal. Glass Fate takes us through a Lost Highway trip into the subconscious of Sarah Jane Quillin’s year while writing this record. The songs form a collective meditation on Quillin’s hope and grief while processing the loss of a parent, the end of a beloved band Heavy Dreams (a collaboration with DEHD’s Emily Kempf), and witnessing the surreal near-death experience of her best friend, Desert Liminal’s drummer Rob Logan, during one of their shows. Channeling this heaviness into soaring and simmering experimental indie rock, Desert Liminal’s sound is marked by Quillin’s spectral vocal melodies layered over warm, looping walls of vintage synthesizer and violin filtered through a distortion pedal array. Rob Logan’s drumming ranges from driving post-punk drum grooves to thoughtful, held back polyrhythms that serve and elevate the record.

Completing this subverted power trio, violinist and prolific noise artist Mallory Linehan (Chelsea Bridge) joined in 2019, perfecting the trio’s sound with spacious strings and tape loops that blend into the warm wash of resonating reverb and delay. A first listen of Glass Fate reveals a band with an astute ear for creating warm, engaging art-pop that entwines Quillin’s eliding delivery around smart hooks and introspective, bordering on melancholy, melodies. The further these songs move from the source they begin slipping into headier terrain creating neck-craning audio fields of droning violins and looped voice that recall Tony Conrad at his most accessible and Haley Fohr’s experimentations with voice and breath. These sounds cohabitate in the liminal space where meaning and reference slowly fade into Jungian archetype and back again through the trio’s strong grasp on solid, reality-affirming songwriting.

Wait For You

Margot - Wait For You

Released 12th October 2021 via Ultimate Blends.

You believe in everything
all of the time
And you still wonder why
you can't tell truth from a lie

You're so sure and you're so certain
you've got it right
And doing nothing is suicide
It's all dark and you've seen the light

What's the hurry about?
Life can be long
What do you worry about
when there's nothing wrong?

You know that you're a little non-committal
but maybe you might
finish one thing, give it a try
But then again, hard to decide 

You know that thing that seems to happen
while you're making plans?
You don't get to do it over again
Take it slow, walk to the end

What's the hurry about?
Life can be long
What do you worry about
when there's nothing wrong?
Is the dream all gone
or did you have it all along?
You're not far from home now

You're so sad and
you can't let go of it
You make it hard, always
But you won't give up now so

What's the hurry about?
Life can be long
What do you worry about
when there's nothing wrong?
Is the dream all gone
or did you have it all along?
You're not far from home
You had it all along
You're not far from home now
