In this episode of Room 205, we present Craft Spells performing "Love Well Spent" at last month's Room 205 Live showcase at MusicFest NW. After filming more than 30 episodes and 90 videos in a tiny 15x20-foot rehearsal space, we wanted to have a go at collaborating in front of a live audience. We put our heads together with friend and longtime MFNW producer Trevor Solomon to curate "Room 205 Live" held at venerable downtown venue Ted's (formerly Berbati's Pan). The night featured some of our favorite Room 205 visitors, including Craft Spells, Crystal Antlers, Tropic of Cancer, Chelsea Wolfe and Blouse. To document this very special night, we worked with director Greg Hunt, DP Greg Schmitt, and audio engineer Griffin Rodriguez. No overdubs, no second takes. 100% raw live weirdness.

About Craft Spells
Craft Spells began as the bedroom project of Justin Vallesteros. Holed up in his Stockton, CA home, rolling tape while winter beat the bushes outside, Vellesteros crafted a decidedly 80s strain of sentimental indie-pop; chiming guitars, atmospheric synths, and delicate drum-machines. Vallesteros now resides in Seattle and fronts a full band comprised of friends and serious shredders. They make records. They tour Europe. And they write very, very good songs. As we said in their previous Room 205 episode- if you love Felt, The Smiths, Echo & The Bunnymen, and the beautiful monotone drone of Ian Curtis... Craft Spells might soon be your favorite nuevo-new romantics.
