Hard to Please is the debut Sacred Bones 7" release by Bay Area artist Tia Cabral, aka SPELLLING. SPELLLING released her first full length Pantheon of Me in September 2017 and it was self written, performed and produced in her apartment in Berkeley, California.

SPELLLING's powerful vocal range dances over compositions that vary from rhythmic and ethereal to crunchy and hypnotic, while all remaining singularly cohesive to her distinct and enveloping sound.

Pantheon of Me was Bandcamp's #4 record of the year in 2017 and they raved: "Cabral has it, from her careful sense of composition to her charismatic presence to her ability to communicate with her music straight through to the listener's heart." Her newest tracks "Hard to Please" and "My Other Voice" (a cover of Sparks' 1979 symphonic disco track) pair together to reflect on bittersweet passions of an obsessive romance.

"Hard to Please" presents as dance music but journeys through a swirling climax to something more spiritual.

On "My Other Voice" the power of SPELLLING's voice elevates this cover beyond an homage and to a unique vision entirely its own.
