DESERT LIMINAL

Desert Liminal is an experimental dream pop project lead by songwriter and vocalist Sarah Jane Quillin and multi-instrumentalist/vocalist Mallory Linehan. A fixture in the Chicago underground, Desert Liminal's songwriting strength lies in rendering bleak memories into a beautiful and distant landscape. Quillin's performance centers live layered analog synthesizer and vocal loops to form spectral, melodic walls of sound - elevated by Linehan's intuitive violin and vocal harmonies. Themes like hope in desolation, memory, addiction, alienation and recovery amidst the natural beauty of a rural river valley recur in DL's discography.

KEXP called sophomore album Black Ocean "a collection of sweeping art-rock, cinematic shoegaze, and poetic dream-pop featuring a lush, enveloping sound." The Chicago Reader wrote "The record’s plaintive moods and disarming lyrics will tug at your heartstrings, and the tangled layers of dramatic violin will set them vibrating in sympathy."
