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.

lyrics:

10 PM
I’m finding the promised land
For now I escape my plans
Get through the night 

5 AM
My heart wakes my head again
I’m biding my time I guess
I see a light

You know why I’m racing 
You know why I’m racing 
You know why I’m racing 
You know why I’m racing 

Digging in
I’m fighting my only friends
You know how the story ends
A little life

Gone again
You left me alone and then
I filled in the hole instead
I drew a line

You know why I’m racing 
You know why I’m racing 
You know why I’m racing 
You know why I’m racing

Headland

Wait

No One To Blame
By: Matt Menovcik

V1 
If none of this matters anymore
Then what are we arguing for?
When truth is really what you believe
And pretending is the way that we live

C 
We tell ourselves what we need to hear
Just to make it through another day
We see ourselves as we want to be 
When really we’re all just the same
There’e really no one to blame

V2
How do we want it to be?
What would really satisfy?
The narrative’s been changed so many times
And all around us is greed

C.

Br
We just can’t stop
We keep moving on 
Why do we race to the end?
Is this what we really want?

C
There’s really no one to blame (x3)
But ourselves
