"Venturing to push the boundaries of her primarily synth-based work, Spellling took on the ambitious task of orchestrating and self-producing an album that features an ensemble of 31 collaborating musicians. The Turning Wheel incorporates a vast range of rich acoustic sounds that cast Spellling's work into vibrant new dimensions. The double LP is split into two halves - 'Above' and 'Below.' Lush string quartet shimmer combines with haunting banjo and wandering bassoon leads, as the album progresses from the more jubilant, warm, and dreamy mood of the 'Above' tracks to the more chilling and gothic tone of the 'Below' tracks. This progression is anchored by Spellling's familiar bewitching vocal style that emphasizes the theatrical and folkloric heart of her songwriting. The Turning Wheel demonstrates a distinct evolution of lyrical style, from the more incantatory and abbreviated approach of her previous work to a more expansive, narrative production. The Turning Wheel is a manifestation of this considerable effort, time, and collaborative energy and will surely become a classic for its elegance. And while the artist's eclectic influences, from soul to psych to pop to noise, remain present, something entirely new has also been born in the cosmic soup of this massive undertaking: a grand and genreless adventure. One that allows the artist's authenticity to shine and also marks her as a conduit for something with a magic of its own." - Sacred Bones
