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.

lyrics
I am drifting, what a pleasant feeling
I see myself in the crowd so well
Many faces going through the same things
Mystery of love, of life
Feel not distant
Common interest
Feeling love, feeling love
Cause I saw it in her
I saw it in her
So it's inside me
She's dancing
She's dancing
There she goes, there she goes, there she goes, there she goes
No one's looking
No one's looking
There she goes, there she goes, there she goes, there she goes
No one's looking
No one's looking
Looking, looking no one's looking
Looking, looking don't care if you're looking
Looking, looking no one's looking
Looking, looking don't care if you're looking
Cause I saw it in her
I saw it in her
So it's inside me
She's dancing
She's dancing
There she goes, there she goes, there she goes, there she goes
No one's looking
No one's looking
There she goes, there she goes, there she goes, there she goes
No one's looking
No one's looking
Looking, looking no one's looking
Looking, looking don't care if you're looking
Looking, looking no one's looking
Looking, looking don't care if you're looking
