Craft Spells https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMN4JKSeVkg "After a dormant period following the release of the Gallery EP in 2012, Craft Spells' Justin Vallesteros is back with the gorgeously ambitious Nausea. It's Craft Spells' second proper full length LP, and first since 2010′s critically acclaimed Idle Labor... Nausea could easily have been a record rife with indecision and anxiety. But like the song for which the album is named, Craft Spells was able to turn the chaos and disillusionment into a work that provides ammo against that very thing, with beauty, vision and melody." The Bilinda Butchers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wa_exooTYKo "‘Heaven’ is a unique record, it’s rare to get this wrapped up in an album. It’s a conversation starter that’s likely to drag you back for repeated listens. I can only speculate how many fans will fall in love with it, destined to be high on ‘best of’s lists for 2014.” Twin Studies https://twinstudies.bandcamp.com/track/precious-places "With “Precious Places,” the group successfully harnesses their ethereal dream pop dream musings and celestial shoegaze eruptions into something distinct and direct. The title track from the band’s EP sparkles and shimmers in all the right places, but it’s not exactly music for staring off into space...there's a genuine sense of lively movement and enough textured guitar grandeur to leave you swooning. All in all, it’s a lovely piece of moody songwriting."
