Indie-Synth darlings Craft Spells, are back with a new single and a forthcoming EP. The band began as a Bedroom Pop project in 2009 for Stockton, CA’s Justin Paul Vallesteros. It didn’t take long, however, for Blogs like Weekly Tape Deck, Pasta Primavera, No Modest Bear and Pitchfork’s Forkcast to take notice as well as Strangeway Radio. We were all over their 2011 debut LP Idle Labor which featured a seemingly endless supply of heavenly pop bliss on tracks like For The Ages, Scandinavian Crush, The Fog Rose High, Party Talk, From The Morning Heat, After The Moment and more! They spent much of 2011 touring with The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart as well as Captured Tracks labelmates, Beach Fossils.
Craft Spells have announced a follow up EP called Gallery due May 15 on Captured Tracks. Meanwhile, the band will be on display at SXSW.
