Desert Liminal

Desert Liminal is an experimental pop trio and fixture in the deep field of Chicago independent music. Their unique sound combines elements of dream pop, shoegaze, and noise. The group's nontraditional song structures center dream-like poetry and vocal harmony within a cloud of analog synth textures and layered, swirling violin loops. Thoughtfully-constructed walls of sound wash over driving drum grooves as the trio's synergy results in signature sonic poems greater than the sum of their parts.

Desert Liminal's 2021 vinyl debut on Whited Sepulchre Records sold out its pressing, while the band toured and performed on bills with notable genre-adjacent acts like Midwife, Deserta, and Laraaji, as well as live on NPR's WBEZ. A follow-up LP is forthcoming in 2024.
