In Limbo is an EP by American rock musician Lydia Lunch, released in 1984 on Doublevision. It is largely a collaboration with Thurston Moore.

Reception

AllMusic called the EP "something of a return to the nearly atonal cacophony of Lunch's earliest work, but with greater delicacy and subtlety thanks largely to collaborator Thurston Moore's skill at varied and intriguing sonic moods".[1] Billboard wrote of the EP: "Add deathbed vocals to what sounds like a bad soundtrack to an even worse horror flick and you've got Lydia Lunch's latest faintly interesting, very depressing, poetic effort".[2] Head Heritage described it as "one of Lunch's strongest statements. A difficult, overlooked but vital gem".[3]
