Star Crash

Dark indie-pop outfit New Spell creates dynamic, cerebral music with haunting vocals, futuristic drums, and a mesmerizing synth-based aesthetic. In the group’s artfully textured songs, songwriter & bandleader Leanne Kelly explores the impact of the digital age, climate change, & current socio-cultural trends on our lives and our mental health. Her perspectives are uniquely informed by her master’s degree level of study in psychotherapy. New Spell – which also features Jacob Frautschi on drums – is known for lavish indie-pop in the vein of Nite Jewel, Goldfrapp, & Psychic Twin.
