been playing this song over and over and over.....thank u

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:
I see us changing once again 
But you won't ever know

Feel the walls they're melting in
But you won't ever know 

And I 
Will try
To see
The waves of you

But you're breaking us
But you're breaking us
But you're breaking us
You're breaking us in two

I knew when it began to change
But you won't ever know

Made a mess of what we had again
But you won't ever know

And I 
Will try
To see
The waves of you

But you're breaking us
But you're breaking us
But you're breaking us
You're breaking us in two

I see us changing once again 
But you won't ever know

If you wanted to leave I would let you
Not the type who would ask for a redo 
Say you need something new, yeah well me too
I'll never figure it out

On a scale of the universe, I'm pretty fuckin small
So if I sleep in til 3pm it doesn't matter at all

I'm over you
I'm overbored
I'm surrounded by people who were hoping for more

Think my pilot's asleep on the runway
Diagnosed with a case of the Mondays
Wanna stay, wanna lay in the sunrays
Out on the roof of my house

On a scale of the universe, I'm pretty fuckin small
So if I sleep in til 3pm it doesn't matter at all

I'm over you
I'm overbored
I'm surrounded by people who were hoping for more

I'm over you
I'm overbored
I'm surrounded by people who were hoping for more
