Youtube channel TheIDMMaster recently made a very nice video clip for Highspeed Racer by Lipstick.
The mystic, meditative clip portraits pictures from ancient Egypt, beautiful flowers, a light meditation, a mysterious cathedral, fractals and the infinitive beauty of nature and the universe. Merci beaucoup!
As usual the latest release on Electrolyt comes with some imaginative and associative liner notes, written by the voice of Lipstick, Krystal Bell:
Lipstick is the post-apocalyptic beauty. There’s never been a more important time to listen to this album; it reflects the world we live in today and cries for change.
Escape to Mars consists of 4 surreal, thoughtfully-constructed tracks produced by Andreas Dorwarth and Krystal Bell, which push us to discover the boundaries of reality and our human perspective.
Highspeed Racer – Start the journey, discover your destination. Driving bass and tight hyper-drums mimic sounds of a futuristic city buzz, tickling your feet to dance. Krystal’s dreamy vocals send a message to stand true to what you believe and sing your own song. Sit back and enjoy the ride!
Time Has Come – A marching drum and high-hat reveal the sounds of change, intricately decorated with magical female vocals, filled with love and passion. Imagine a lush, untouched rain forest where no man has gone before; only to be destroyed upon first human contact. Krystal sings, “The time has come to bite the bullet…pay the price for what we’ve done.”
Helicopter Rain – This song captures the very essence of the post-apocalyptic beauty. The thumping drum of your heart beat tells me you’re still alive, after the ‘Helicopter Rain’ and ‘black birds’ in the night have left the city in ruins. We will survive… this is the feeling of undying hope and compassion.
Like So Many – In a vibrant, full and connected, one can still feel alone and disconnected. This playful, dramatic tune is a party in cosmic bubble surrounded by the stars. Krystal’s sweet lyrics in German & English leave the listener with feelings of hope and desire. She sings ‘to be amongst the stars’ sharing the idea of transcending above all negativity. Nothing but love.
After Media Monster and Lost And Found Files, Krystal Bell and Andreas Dorwarth return to Electrolyt with their newest release Escape To Mars.
The Ep is featuring 4 tracks of electro-psychedelic bliss, once again proving the duo’s ability to create ear-worm-quality melodies, embedded deeply in tracks, which stray far beyond the usual conventions of modern dance music. At the same time, Lipstick pay respect to their roots in old-school electro, house, minimal, dreampop and spaced out indie-psychedelia.
Escape To Mars has been mastered and additionally mixed with great skill and understanding for Lipstick’s sound by Florian Malicke, who is part of the Lipstick family since day one and who is one of the creative masterminds behind the German spacerock- electronica band Messer Brüder.
The beautiful artwork has been designed by Susana Licéaga of the Mexican dreampop-electronica project Aeropuerto.
Escape To Mars is now available for streaming and downloading on our Bandcamp.

Don’t miss your spaceship!!
