Craft Spells is an American indie rock/dream pop band from , California, formed in late 2009 by Justin Vallesteros. To date, Craft Spells has released two studio albums, Idle Labor (2011) and Nausea (2014) on the Captured Tracks label.
Towards the end of 2009, Justin Vallesteros began experimenting with simple synth and guitar lines, gradually layering them to create the sound that would become Craft Spells. After signing with Captured Tracks the band released their debut full-length, Idle Labor, in early 2011 and went on tour with Beach Fossils. The album was described as a soft, synthy, dreamy compendium of new wave and 80s pop similar to New Order with Vallesteros voice style sounding similar to Ian Curtis.
The band's next EP, Gallery, was released on 2012. It was followed by their second LP, Nausea on 2014.
