Spelling
Portrait Of My Heart LP (olive green vinyl)

On Chrystia Cabral’s fourth album as Spellling, the Bay Area artist transforms her acclaimed avant-pop project into a mirror. Cabral’s lyrics for Portrait of My Heart tackle love, intimacy, anxiety, and alienation, trading the allegorical approach of much of her previous work for something pointed into her human heart. The album’s thematic forthrightness is echoed in its arrangements, making it the sharpest, most direct Spellling album to date. From the dark minimalism of her earliest music to the lavishly orchestrated prog-pop of 2021’s The TurningWheel to this newly energetic expression of her creative spirit, Cabral has proved again and again that Spellling can be whatever she needs it to be.
