#AlchemicalWarfare is the second full-length studio album by singer, songwriter, and electronic music producer, Twitchitt.
The dark synthpop sounds of #AlchemicalWarfare colour its multidimensional lyrical themes with romantic strings, melodic piano riffs, charming synth leads, and deep basslines. Twitchitt's bewitching vocals breathe hope into melancholy, and accents of despair into spirited synth tracks, stimulating deliberate rumination of the philosophical and spiritual concepts of duality in all its shades of grey, and offering subjective appeal to its interpreters.
Inspired by classic and contemporary artists and genres, Twitchitt notes some of her influences for the album as Kate Bush, Grimes, Enya, Ms Mr, Banks, and Lady Gaga.
Also inspired by clichéd derivatives of religious parables and manufactured brands of the music industry, Twitchitt's intent is to question the cultures we create; to navigate the system in order to shine light on the system; to introduce unfamiliar ideas through familiar channels; to disenchant by way of enchantment; to infiltrate the matrix.
"#AlchemicalWarfare is a collection of stories about discovering our weaknesses and transmuting them into strengths. It's about claiming our power and channeling it into our purposes and choices. It's about lovingly petting our demons and giving them voices and wound-healing breath. It's about the rebellion and rarity of independent thinking. It's about finding balanced objectivity and questioning our worlds, inside and out. The alchemists were misfits on a mission to discover the secrets and formulas of life. They didn't achieve the recipe to human immortality, or discover how to transmute lead into gold. They did, however, invent booze, make major developments in medicine and science, and discover how to transmute pain and curiosity into art. And so, here we are."
"#AlchemicalWarfare is dedicated to the overthinkers, the askers of questions, the seekers of answers, the broken and independent spirits, the earthlings who feel their feelings harder than their bones and the feelings of humanity harder than diamonds. Your souls are the philosopher's stone, and your lives are the chrysopoeia, the Great Work."
