Weekend Showcase 3.16

Moment Feed

In the cold and dreary winter of 2009, alone in his bedroom and hidden from the darkness of the world outside Justin Paul Vallesteros had begun working on something that would change his life forever. What began as a couple notes played in experimentation soon transformed into vibrant melodies that soon shook Vallesteros’ musical foundation to the core. Guitar chords laced over pulse sating synth melodies and drum rhythms was a departure from Justin’s previous work; he began to create the dreamy nostalgic pop music that is Craft Spells. Justin is a California native who now finds residence in the mid-size town of Stockton, the heart of California. Craft Spells is the epitome of the recent uprising of the DIY music scene. Coming from a place not known for its musical history or impact on music culture it seemed destined for Craft Spells to stay as a bedroom pop project with no final destination in sight. But soon the shear amount of blog volume his work began to generate was unimaginable. Sites like Weekly Tape Deck, Pasta Primavera, No Modest Bear and Pitchfork’s Forkcast took notice and thus began the never ending worldwide posting and re-posting on blog after blog of Craft Spells. The sound is led by Justin’s blissful voice, backed behind beautiful guitar melodies over heavenly synths, pop basslines and looped rhythms. Captured Tracks has released 7” single for the song “Party Talk” and will release the debut LP due out in Spring 2011 called Idle Labor. 2011 is going to be a busy year now that Justin has set up a live band for future touring. Keep a look out for tour dates in Europe and US come the new year. In no time at all, Justin has been able to move out of Dave Brubeck and Pavement’s shadow to create something his own which he shares with the ever continuing admiration of the world.

Hazel English - Never Going Home

Our 1st album, GOLDEN YEAR, is coming out on July 2. Here's a preview of what it's gonna sound like. 

Photo cred: Danny's wife while we were snorkeling in Punta Cana, DR.

Stay Gold


There’s a picture that I have,
Scuffed and frayed around the edge,
That shows us holding hands,
On the night that we first met.

There’s an image in my mind,
Of the way you smoothed my hair.
I wasn’t looking out for love,
But you know I found it there.

That was the moment.
The moment I knew.
That all of my dreams,
Were about to come true

That was the moment.
I looked deep inside.
And saw that my love,
Could no longer hide

There’s a clock upon the wall,
Its hands stopped at the midnight hour
That’s when we kissed the first time,
And we first felt true love’s power.

There’s a tremble in my hands
What if our paths had never crossed?
I cannot relive that moment,
Without you I would be lost.

That was the moment,
The moment I knew.
That all of my dreams 
Were about to come true

That was the moment
I looked deep inside
And saw that my love
Could no longer hide

That was the moment,
The moment I knew.
That was the moment,
The moment I knew.

That Was The Moment

You can’t deny that there is something sorrowful behind the Bergen-based, lo-fi dream/psych pop trio Chain Wallet, and you can’t hide that their music suits the environment wherein it was created. It may be a cliché that it always rains in the band’s hometown, but when you play songs like «Faded Fight», it’s not difficult imagine the mist hanging heavily over their indie dystopian vision of Bergen. 

Even though feelings of nostalgia and melancholy lurk in the Scandinavian shadows, it’s not difficult to find indie-pop gold in its purest form, glittering below the heavy layers of synth and reverb.

The band say this about the song: In a blog, someone called our lyrics «nonsensical», and the mantra «can't you see – we're not making any sense at all» is a comment on this careless remark. It is not a love song but a portrayal of a romantic failure. It is perhaps the record’s most to-the-point pop song, with an uplifting chorus that is a stark contrast to the romantic failure. The main character has begun reaching for the moon, and we are giving the couple in the song two more weeks, maybe.

«Muted Colours», the first single from their forthcoming debut album, recieved more than 90.000 plays in just two weeks, and right now everything is pointing upwards for Chain Wallet. «Faded Fight» is available digitally from August 17, and their self titled album will be released on October 7.
