Experimental pop artist Chrystia Cabral, better known as SPELLLING, is releasing her fourth album SPELLLING & the Mystery School on August 25 via Sacred Bones. In conjunction with the announcement, she’s releasing a double lead single, “Cherry” b/w “Under the Sun.” “Cherry” is minimalistic and eerie, evocative of the mystical traditions she invokes in the album’s title. “Under the Sun” is pianistic and drama-laden, the juxtaposition between the two a fitting reminder of SPELLLING’s artistic breadth.
The album promises to be equal parts naturalistic and alien, a far-spanning exploration of the genre Cabral has poked at the edges of for the past six years. Listen to “Cherry” here, watch the video for “Under the Sun” here and check out the LP’s artwork and tracklist below.
