A Dancing Shell

Working under the name Craft Spells, Stockton, Calif.'s Justin Vallesteros makes music for bedsitters who dream about being social. Though often addressed to a love interest either real or imagined, Idle Labor is above all a lonely album that rarely betrays its origin as a solo project. Sonically it recalls Wild Nothing it the way it mines a large swath of 1980s synth pop, but its clear emotional tenor gives it a distinguishing perspective and personality.
Idle Labor exists in a time frame best described by the title of its ebullient centerpiece-- "After the Moment". These are sketches of romantic problems and solutions with the wounds still fresh and the thoughts uncensored. Taken as a whole, it could be read as a narrative following Vallesteros from heartbreak to infatuation and back, a few months' worth of romantic uncertainty boiled down to a taut and hooky album.
In a maundering yearn somewhere between Jens Lekman and Ian Curtis, Vallesteros introduces himself as a lovelorn melodramatist over sunstroked, near-Balearic pop. But as the narrative begins to hint at physical contact, the music works in lockstep, and Vallestreros builds tracks more as a dance producer than a singer-songwriter. And that's where he hits his stride-- while his vocals remain a central fixture, the post-punk mordancy is softened by locomotive arrangements that stack synth pads, ringing guitar, and primitive drum programming.
"Party Talk" starts a mid-album mini-suite with Vallesteros as a nebbishy Woody Allen character trying to decode a mutual romantic connection from casual conversation. But he leaps forward during the upbeat "From the Morning Heat", and by the fantastic morning-after celebration "After the Moment", something has apparently clicked; Vallesteros repeats the chorus as if he knows it's the best he's written.
The emotional high is predictably short-lived, and even within its brief half-hour runtime, more than a few of the melodies take detours and left turns. "The Fog Rose High" has the feel of a gothier Beach Fossils, while the anodyne dream-pop scruff of "You Should Close the Door" could have been a Radio Dept. B-side. But as with so many bedroom auteurs' debuts, it's tough to separate the creation from the creator, and Idle Labor shows the promise of a precocious songwriter who isn't claiming to have anything totally figured out just yet.

It's all over now
I was hypnotized by why
we could not kill the light
Used to think that I was in the right
Now I know I'm wrong
You don't know what you want

Is it time to start again
I know I'll never win
I just want more time
Can't say goodbye
Walking down the line
Further
I just can't let it go
I just can't let it die

Is it time to go on
Long before these empty streets
wound into the cold dawn
Used to get along to get along
Used to matter now it's gone
Become the sun alone and withdrawn
You don't know what you want

Was I meant to stay
Silent tears that cry
there's nothing left to say
Used to think that I was in the way
Now I know my place
Getting further away
Don't remember my name

Is it time to start again
I know I'll never win
I just want more time
I can't say goodbye
Walking down the line
Further
I just can't let it go
I just can't let it die
I just want one more song
One more night

Wild Nothing // A Dancing Shell (OFFICIAL SINGLE)

Hibou is the moniker of Peter Michel who formerly toured North America and Europe as the drummer of indie outfit Craft Spells. At only 19, he already has a year-long touring experience and two songs under his belt, one of which is the new demo track of the week.

Here are a few words on Glow by Peter: 

"Glow was inspired by the way my life seemed to be darkly growing and spreading in directions I wasn't familiar with. I wanted the song to sound as though it had a sharp pulse, but was also ominous and dreary."
