After a quiet period following the release of the 'Gallery' EP in 2012, Craft Spells’ Justin Vallesteros is back with Craft Spells’ second proper full length LP, 'Nausea' - the first since 2010’s critically acclaimed 'Idle Labor'.
Since last on the radar, Justin relocated to San Francisco to find a niche in the Bay Area music scene. With a severe bout of writer’s block he retreated to his parents' house where he put down his guitar for a full year in favour of properly training himself on piano, the instrument from which all the tracks for 'Nausea' were written.
The demos came together in early 2014 and Vallesteros flew to Seattle to produce and record the LP. 'Nausea' is a bold, beautiful and lush new sound emphasizing the songwriting abilities Vallesteros always had. An album of piano, real strings and acoustic guitar.
