    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 third single released from the album.
"The process of making Worth deviated from how I had made music prior. This was one of the first songs I wrote entirely on keyboard and I played it in that form on the Avey Tare tour. After the tour I went into my DAW and fleshed it out more instruments and textures. I wrote this trying to remember and convince myself that self worth is not something earned, it is innate in us all and it is always there. Erik Fure added some key percussive elements here that account for the fun and energetic rhythms."

lyrics

I've been waiting for such a long time
Never looks like the picture in my mind
Worth is imperfect, try to crack the code
Girl get a move on you're getting so old
Don't give up hope I know it's tough but there's a road
Keep going
Don't give up hope I know it's tough but there's a road
Keep going
Always in me
Always in me
Always in me
Always in me
Lose sight? You bet, you bet
Happy? Not yet, not yet
Don't give up hope I know it's tough but there's a road
Keep going
Don't give up hope I know it's tough but there's a road
Keep going
Always in me
Always in me
Always in me
Always in me
