For Matthew Doty, Deserta has always been about exploring a sonic universe that allows him to express a kaleidoscope of emotions, without having to say much at all. Through a patchwork of reverb-tinged textures drone guitars, lingering synths and driving percussion the Los Angeles-based singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist weaves together stories of care, frustration and catharsis that ultimately stretch to a gentle resolve. On new album Every Moment, Everything You Need, Doty chronicles the kind of year we all fear, full of uncertainty, tension and sustained pressure, and transforms it into a celebration of perseverance. Its an essential reminder that we have the power to shape the stories we tell. The LP was mixed by Dave Fridmann (Tame Impala, Mogwai, Interpol), with Beach House and Slowdive producer Chris Coady engineering and co-producing.

I dont 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 Quillins year while writing this record. The songs form a collective meditation on Quillins hope and grief while processing the loss of a parent, the end of a beloved band Heavy Dreams (a collaboration with DEHDs Emily Kempf), and witnessing the surreal near-death experience of her best friend, Desert Liminals drummer Rob Logan, during one of their shows. Channeling this heaviness into soaring and simmering experimental indie rock, Desert Liminals sound is marked by Quillins spectral vocal melodies layered over warm, looping walls of vintage synthesizer and violin filtered through a distortion pedal array. Rob Logans drumming ranges from driving post-punk drum grooves to thoughtful, held back polyrhythms that serve and elevate the record.
