An American indie act whose sound on Idle Labor leans on 80s post-punk and synthpop touchstones; praised for lo-fi charm and catchy songwriting despite strong nostalgia.

DeBaser published a review (2011) of the album Idle Labor. The review mentions songs including "From the Morning Heat", "After The Moment" and "Party Talk" and describes the record as lo-fi and heavily influenced by New Order, The Cure and The Smiths.

The available review of Craft Spells' Idle Labor frames the project as a deliberate 80s revival: lo-fi, synth-tinged indie with clear nods to New Order, The Cure and The Smiths. The critic finds the album enjoyable and catchy despite limited originality. Recommended mainly for listeners who appreciate nostalgic, concise indie pop.

For:Fans of 80s-influenced indie, post-punk, synthpop and lo-fi bedroom pop

 Craft Spells are quite good, despite dealing with the exact opposite of novelty, they manage to make it sound damn original and catchy.
