Del Sol Quartet und Divya Farias (Streicher), Jaren Feely (Piano), Patrick Shelley (Percussion), Giulio Xavier Cetto (Bass), Wyatt Overson (E-Gitarre) sowie Toya Wil-lock und Dharma Moon-Hunter (Backing Vocals). Cabral betont ein geradezu spirituell anmutendes Verbundenheitsgefühl, das während der Shows weit über den Bühnenrand hinausgeht. “I want people to feel like there’s alchemy happening and to be aware of the magical parts of sound”, erklärt sie. “Like, this really did come out of thin air”. Das Album erscheint in den gängigen Formaten bei Sacred Bones, die Songs “Cherry” und “Under the Sun” – in einer starken Version, die ein Disco-Feeling der späten 70er mit osteuropäischen Streichern verbindet – sind bereits digital erhältlich.

“Red velvet curtains draw back to reveal a cosmic wheel of fortune, floating in the deep black star-studded theater of infinite space. A whirl of timbres, personalities, and stories. The Turning Wheel, the third full-length by the Bay Area artist SPELLLING (Chrystia Cabral), revolves around themes of human unity, the future, divine love and the enigmatic ups and downs of being a part of this carnival called life. Venturing to push the boundaries of her primarily synth-based work, SPELLLING took on the ambitious task of orchestrating and self-producing an album that features an ensemble of 31 collaborating musicians. The Turning Wheel incorporates a vast range of rich acoustic sounds that cast SPELLLING’s work into vibrant new dimensions. The double LP is split into two halves — “Above” and “Below.” Lush string quartet shimmer combines with haunting banjo and wandering bassoon leads, as the album progresses from the more jubilant, warm, and dreamy mood of the “Above” tracks to the more chilling and gothic tone of the “Below” tracks. This progression is anchored by SPELLLING’s familiar bewitching vocal style that emphasizes the theatrical and folkloric heart of her songwriting.
