She released her first full length Pantheon of Me in September 2017, and it was self-written, performed, and produced in her apartment in Berkeley, California. She began experimenting with music production in 2015 in effort to carry on the creative legacy of a lost loved one. Drawing heavily from messages in her dreams, her sound spirals through clarity and obscurity searching through landscapes of psychic space. The result is a divine soul music, soft in its restraint but heavy with passion. SPELLLING’s powerful vocal range dances over compositions that vary from rhythmic and ethereal to crunchy and hypnotic, while all remaining singularly cohesive to her distinct and enveloping sound. Pantheon of Me was Bandcamp’s #4 record of the year in 2017 and they raved of that sound: “Cabral has it, from her careful sense of composition to her charismatic presence to her ability to communicate with her music straight through to the listener’s heart.” Her newest tracks “Hard to Please” and “My Other Voice” (a cover of Sparks’ 1979 symphonic disco track) pair together to reflect on bittersweet passions of an obsessive romance. “Hard to Please” swells through the excitement and pain of yearning to please an unsatis able lover, with “eyes of winter” but a promising “heart of spring.” The track presents as dance music but journeys through a swirling climax to something more spiritual. “My Other Voice” channels a more sinister state of romantic high, commanding obedience from this aloof lover, “you’re so independent but that’s going to change real soon, with my other voice I can destroy this room.” The sinister tone is juxtaposed with the elated music, that grooves celestially along, entrancing the listener and destroying the proverbial room with the power of SPELLLING’s voice, which elevates this cover beyond an homage and to a unique vision entirely its own.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 843563103463\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sacred Bones\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8.3.18\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7\" Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"SPELLLING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45560893014214,"sku":"79652","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/8085\/0374\/files\/3802178.jpg?v=1771962725"},{"product_id":"mazy-fly-lp","title":"Mazy Fly [LP]","description":"\u003cp\u003eMazy Fly, the second full-length by the Bay Area artist SPELLLING, explores the tension between the thrill of exploring the unknown and the terror of imminent destruction. Chrystia Cabral spent the summer of 2018 in her Berkeley studio reflecting on the thresholds of human progress and longing for a new and better tomorrow. She was struck by the way the same technologies that have given humans the ability to achieve utopian dreams of discovery have also brought the world to the precipice of dystopic global devastation. Despite the darkness of this reality, Mazy Fly is defiantly optimistic. It is a celestial voyage into the unknown, piloted by Cabral. Mazy Fly musically traverses the spaces between languid, honey-soaked vocals and distant angelic whispers, from thumping 808 club beats to crunching tape loops, and from silky, smooth R\u0026amp;B to whirling organ sonatas.

Cabral's lyrics for Portrait of MyHeart tackle love, intimacy, anxiety, and alienation, trading the allegorical approachof much of her previous work for something pointed into her human heart. Thealbum's thematic forthrightness is echoed in it's arrangements, making it thesharpest, most direct SPELLLING album to date. From the dark minimalism ofher earliest music to the lavishly orchestrated prog-pop of 2021's The TurningWheel to this newly energetic expression of her creative spirit, Cabral has provedagain and again that SPELLLING can be whatever she needs it to be.The title track, with it's propulsive drum groove and anthemic chorus of \"I don'tbelong here,\" is the most potent embodiment of the album's turn toward emotional directness. Once the main melody emerged, Cabral used the song as a toolto process her anxiety as a performer and opted for a tighter, more rock-orientedcomposition. This transformation mirrors the album's broader shift toward energyand immediacy, driven by the core band of Wyatt Overson (guitar), Patrick Shelley (drums), and Giulio Xavier Cetto (bass), whose collaboration uncovers newcontours of the SPELLLING sound. Cabral still writes and demos in isolation, butpresenting the songs for Portrait of My Heart to her bandmates helped her discovertheir eventual lively, organic forms. So did working with a trio of producers-TheTurning Wheel mixing engineer Drew Vandenberg, SZA collaborator Rob Bisel,and Yves Tumor producer Psymun.Key guest contributions further shape the album. Chaz Bear (Toro y Moi) deliversSPELLLING's first duet on \"Mount Analogue,\" Turnstile guitarist Pat McCroryturns Cabral's original piano demo for \"Alibi\" into the crunchy, riff-y version thatappears on the record, while Zulu's Braxton Marcellous gives \"Drain\" it's sludgyheft. These parts aren't just incorporated seamlessly into the album; they feel likean integral part of it's universe.Ultimately, though, Portrait of My Heart is nobody's record but Cabral's. She fearlessly draws the curtain back on parts of herself that she's never includedin SPELLLING before-her feelings of being an outsider, her overly guardednature, the way she can throw herself recklessly into intimate relationshipsand then cool on them just as quickly. \"It's very much an open diary of all thosesensations,\" she says.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePortrait of My Heart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeep It Alive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlibi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWaterfall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDestiny Arrives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAmmunition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMount Analogue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSatisfaction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLove Ray Eyes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSometimes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 843563183588\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sacred Bones\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.28.25\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"SPELLLING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45562204029126,"sku":"557351","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/8085\/0374\/files\/4402107-3321585.jpg?v=1771969773"},{"product_id":"mazy-fly-blue-colored-vinyl-can","title":"Mazy Fly (Blue) [Colored Vinyl] (Can)","description":"\u003cp\u003eMazy Fly, the second full-length by the Bay Area artist SPELLLING, explores the tension between the thrill of exploring the unknown and the terror of imminent destruction. Chrystia Cabral spent the summer of 2018 in her Berkeley studio reflecting on the thresholds of human progress and longing for a new and better tomorrow. She was struck by the way the same technologies that have given humans the ability to achieve utopian dreams of discovery have also brought the world to the precipice of dystopic global devastation. Despite the darkness of this reality, Mazy Fly is defiantly optimistic. It is a celestial voyage into the unknown, piloted by Cabral. Mazy Fly musically traverses the spaces between languid, honey-soaked vocals and distant angelic whispers, from thumping 808 club beats to crunching tape loops, and from silky, smooth R\u0026amp;B to whirling organ sonatas. Cabral became enamored by the idea of flight as a harbinger of both progress and apocalypse, and that was expressed in the textures and compositional techniques she utilized. Swarms, flocks, flies, angels, spaceships, flying saucers - all are represented sonically by Cabral and her Juno-106 synthesizer.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHaunted Water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHard to Please\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGolden Numbers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMelted Wings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnder the Sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReal Fun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHard to Please (Reprise)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAfterlife\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirty Desert Dreams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSecret Thread\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFalling Asleep\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 843563184349\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sacred Bones\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.22.19\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"SPELLLING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45562346307782,"sku":"631032","price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/8085\/0374\/files\/4425741-3390160.jpg?v=1771970923"}],"url":"https:\/\/paladinvinyl.com\/collections\/artist-spellling.oembed","provider":"Paladin Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
