In 2009 Vallesteros began experimenting with simple synth and guitar lines, gradually layering them to create the sound that would become Craft Spells.[1] After signing with Captured Tracks, the band released their debut full-length, Idle Labor, in early 2011 and went on tour with Beach Fossils.[2] The album was described as a soft, synthy, dreamy compendium of new wave music and 80s pop similar to New Order with Vallesteros' voice style sounding like Ian Curtis.[3][4]
The band's next EP, Gallery, was released on 2012. It was followed by their second LP, Nausea on 2014.

With you kneeling beside me holding me
Secretly this feels right to me
You're my wonderful heaven sent down to me
We turn our backs to end of time
So we can let the moment stay
Hold my hand through the thick and thin
Offer me a love so deep
Show me the beauty in all you see

There's nobody here now beauty above all.

Silently i fall asleep
I quietly drift off to sleep
With you kneeling beside me holding me
You are next to me, kneeling and embracing me
Secretly this feels right to me
Despite any doubts, this moment feels perfect to me
You're my wonderful heaven sent down to me
You are a wonderful blessing sent down to me from heaven
We turn our backs to end of time
We ignore the looming end of time
So we can let the moment stay
To preserve the moment we share
Hold my hand through the thick and thin
Promise to support and stay by my side no matter what
As we remember to hold the faith
To keep our faith and trust in each other alive
Offer me a love so deep
Promise to offer a love that goes beyond surface level
Show me the beauty in all you see
To show me the beauty they find in everything
There's nobody here now beauty above all.
Despite the lack of anyone else, beauty still remains the most important thing.
