    Even more so than their debut album, Gallery shows just how impressive Craft Spells can be and sets them up as the synth pop revivalists to beat in 2012.

    Gallery falls short of living up to what Idle Labor promised, feeling more like a case of the leftovers.

    Packed with shimmering riffs, synths and loops which sees the Californian mastermind diversify his much-tipped take on 'alternative 80s'.

    Gallery is an enjoyable offering from Craft Spells.
