After several attempts, it finally worked out – Spellling is coming to Bern! Bay Area artist Chrystia Cabral has created her own world of pop avant-garde with her previous three albums on Sacred Bones Records (including Anika, David Lynch, Jenny Hval, Pharmakon, John Carpenter), which produces great arrangements and sometimes celebrates a musical-like cheerfulness, although the lyrics deal with fear and alienation. On her latest work Portrait Of My Heart, the gloomy minimalism of her early days is no longer present, and the familiar, lushly orchestrated prog pop of her most successful album The Turning Wheel is now paired with energetic alternative rock. «Chrystia Cabral dances the line between straightforward dream pop and aquatic, experimental electronic folk, creating music that both roils the soul and inspires whimsical daydreams.» (Pitchfork)
