SPELLLING, the project of Bay Area-based artist Chrystia Cabral, has shared a second single, from The Turning Wheel, the new album out June 25th on Sacred Bones.
The Turning Wheel is split into two halves — “Above” and “Below.” Following recent Frida Kahlo-inspired single “Little Deer” which opens the “Above” section of the record, today SPELLLING has shared a glimpse at the “Below” with “Boys At School” – an evocative and magnetic 7-minute ballad that sees Cabral “step back into my younger self, my teenage self to voice my angst, desires and disillusionments.” She continues: “I knew when I created the main motif on the piano that it was striking something really raw and both delicate and fierce. The notes just immediately transported me to the era of my youth, of this time when you are really beginning to confront the mirror of yourself to the outside world.”
