The Turning Wheel

On 'The Turning Wheel', SPELLLING stages a monumental evolution from her earlier synth-based work into a realm of orchestral and theatrical progressive pop. Self-produced and featuring an ensemble of 31 musicians, the album's intricate compositions blend rich acoustic instrumentation like strings, brass, and banjo with a core of art-pop and psychedelic soul. The record is thematically split into two halves, 'Above' and 'Below', which navigate from jubilant, dreamy moods to more gothic and chilling tones, exploring themes of transformation, magic, and life's cyclical nature through SPELLLING's distinctively narrative and folkloric songwriting.
