“Illusion II” is the second single from L Twills’ forthcoming new multimedia album [After her Destruction] (due out February 16, 2024). The album is a cybernetic sci-fi opera in which its protagonist Girl journeys through her own mind to find out whether it has mutated. In ten video chapters of the album Girl meets various characters and creatures and undergoes epiphanies that transform her and opens her to new vistas of creative imagination. “Illusion II” brings us in with a rippling low end sound like a deeply processed piano abstracted and echoing, metallic sounds counting time and creating an evolving texture while L Twills sings soulfully about a figure that seems to hold a strange and irresistible allure while she is under the spell of a mysterious affliction. Even though it’s obvious you’re hearing a portion of a larger narrative the song stands on its own. It sounds like an unlikely pairing of Fiona Apple, Malaria! and Chris & Cosey and hints at a fascinating album ahead. Listen to “Illusion II” on Soundcloud and follow L Twills at the links provided.
