Turnstile guitarist Pat McCrory jumps on SPELLLING's new track, "Alibi"
Chrystia Cabral – AKA SPELLLING – has shared "Alibi" as the second single from her forthcoming new album, Portrait of My Heart.
Following the album title track "Portrait of My Heart", the new release "Alibi" sees Cabral collaborate with Turnstile guitarist Pat McCrory. "On Alibi I’m tapping into the almost kind of comedic and hysteric relief that kicks in when you make it out of the other side of a toxic relationship. Once the spell is broken and clarity restores good sense there’s just this buoyancy to life that lets you laugh at the absurdities" Cabral comments.
"This is one of those songs that sprung up on me out of nowhere in a super bold and in my face way. Sometimes I like to deliberately withhold recording ideas to make sure that it's contagious enough to stick in just my memory. This is one that stuck for so long to the point that I was like yes, let me follow through with it and see what I can do."
SPELLLING will be playing her first UK headline tour later this year, before heading into mainland Europe. The tour will take her to the likes of Bristol, Manchester, Brighton, London, Berlin, Paris, and more.
Before undertaking her tour for The Turning Wheel, Cabral assembled a band including core members Wyatt Overson (guitar), Patrick Shelley (drums), and Giulio Xavier Cetto (bass), and their ongoing collaboration has uncovered new contours of the SPELLLING sound. Cabral still writes and demos in isolation, but presenting the songs for Portrait of My Heart'to her bandmates, named the Mystery School, helped her discover their eventual organic form.
Portrait of My Heart, will be released on 28 March via Sacred Bones, and is available to pre-order now.
