In a world of counterfeits, imitations, & nihilistic selfishness, finding something (someone) genuine is heartening & delightful. It is via this paradigm we meet Desert Liminal & their newest single, ‘Flicker Screen‘; a wistful & introspective composition, wrought with elegance, mystique, & sophistication.
Striking directly out the gate with a bright major chord & luxuriously refined melodies, one is immediately absorbed by this spirituous enchantment. The warmth of the drums & humanism of the keys & strings envelops the listener in a blanket of sound – those with a discerning ear can almost hear the wooden paneling of an 80’s Casiotone ruminating & swirling throughout the arpeggios. Yet most striking remain the vocals; heady & bewitching, a certain mesmeric-ness of the eddying phrases will sweep you off your metaphorical feet & into a dream.
Can we equivocate & deceive ourselves into happiness? Perhaps… though doubtfully so. This is some fine compositional storytelling by Desert Liminal. Delve deeper here, & check out their new LP, ‘Glass Fate‘, via Whited Sepulchre Records:
