SPELLLING

SPELLLING is the spellbinding musical project of Oakland-based artist Chrystia Cabral. Breaking into the contemporary experimental music scene with her strikingly unique sound, SPELLLING captivates audiences with her blend of ethereal synths, haunting vocals, and evocative lyrics. Since debuting with her full-album "Pantheon of Me" in 2017, Cabral has continued to mesmerize listeners and critics alike. Her bold, eclectic style draws on a mix of influences from psychedelic pop to new wave to witchy rhythmic incantations, creating a realm that is both otherworldly and deeply human.

The work of SPELLLING grew exponentially with the critically acclaimed albums "Mazy Fly" (2019) and "The Turning Wheel" (2021). With "The Turning Wheel," SPELLLING took a grand step forward, incorporating lush orchestral arrangements and a wider range of instruments, resulting in a more expansive and ambitious sound. The album displays her unique ability to weave storytelling with rich soundscapes, as seen in tracks such as "Boys at School" and "Little Deer," which delve into themes of transformation and mythic storytelling. As she continues to explore and push the boundaries of her artistic expression, SPELLLING remains a captivating figure in the realm of avant-garde pop and experimental music, enchanting listeners with her visionary compositions and otherworldly presence.
