*The Following Press Release Was Mora/May Agency*
SPELLES, the sonic duo made up of Luc Laurent and Kathryn Baar, released their long-awaited debut album 'Diving Into The Arms Of The Divine' on November 15th via Sierra Bonita Records.
SPELLES broke out in 2014 after their unreleased song “Bird In A Cage” was placed on the hit TV show Pretty Little Liars. Since then, they’ve released two EPs: SPELLES and Skeleton Coast I and multiple singles. They’ve also had the good fortune of getting their songs placed on numerous shows, such as Good Girls, Big Sky, Charmed and Nancy Drew, as well as on a TV promo for ABC. In 2017, their song “Dead In The Water” was played on BBC Radio 1 and they were sponsored by Taco Bell for their Feed the Beat program. Baar co-wrote a song in 2022 with Jordan Frye called “Let It Out” that landed an HBO promo. She also lent her vocals and writing skills to the song “Fly” by The Avener and vocals to “Fade Away” by Claptone, the latter of which was initiated via a personal email by legendary producer Stuart Price (Madonna). SPELLES has also performed live in Los Angeles on the same bill as LP, Dorothy, Cannons, Skott and Niia.
Influenced by artists such as Portishead, Radiohead and Nina Simone, SPELLES has combined different musical influences along with poetic and evocative lyrics to create an already commanding and moving body of work that speaks for itself.
The band has seen success with garnering over 5 million streams and have been praised by the likes of Consequence, CLASH, BBC, NME, NPR and more.
