    Lipsticism is the solo project of musician and producer Alana Schachtel. Using synthesizers, voice, field recordings and samples, Alana creates textural sonic atmospheres with strong pop sensibilities. Alana has always had a deep love for music and a desire to create it, but she often felt discouraged by her lack of training and unsure where to start. While living in Bellingham, Wa in 2013, Alana encountered digital audio workstations which felt accessible and intuitive to her and she has continued to deepen her knowledge and understanding as a music producer. Alana is currently based in Chicago, Il and some highlights of her musical journey have been touring with Avey Tare of Animal Collective in 2019, and more recently opening for inspiring artists like Blue Hawaii and Devin Shaffer. While her sound is frequently described as cosmic, dreamy, and psychedelic, there is something immediate and sensual in her punchy drums and emotional honesty. Lipsticism was created partly as an outlet to say that which was left unsaid in her interpersonal relationships, and this grants her music a confessional quality.

about

The first single to be released from the album.
"Sentimental was made by sending files back and forth with my friend Luke Hogfoss. Honestly, I had this huge almost unbearable week-long experience after uncovering old home videos. The videos were so sweet, my family was different and there was so much joy. I really wanted to go back and I couldn’t deal with the certainty that I cannot and will not ever go back. I had to do something about these big feelings so I made this song, I think it helped"

lyrics

Feeling, feeling sentimental
I want to go back
Pictures and videos
But I
But I can't
Never know when to
Savor, savor the
Moment, moment of
Want to go
Want to go
(always fast trains
Right to the spot
Mind plays old tapes
Memories i've lost)
But I
But I can't
Never know when to
Savor, savor the
Moment, moment of
I want to go back
I want to go back
I can't go back
I can't go back
Looking through the same things with different eyes and different minds
Didn't know how good I had it
I want to go back
I want to go back
I can't go back
I can't go back
