Glass Spells :: Tapes

November 29, 2025

Cornerstone, Berkeley CA

Shot and Written by Fiestaban Photography

A dark crystal duo hailing from sunny San Diego, CA, Glass Spells is sophisticated dark-wave synth-pop at its finest.  Anthony Ramirez and Tania Costello are bringing everything you love about their brand of glittering β€œgoth disco”, from Yaz to Stacey Q to Cut/Copy to their newest single, a dancier, synthed-out cover of Natalia Lafourcade’s β€œNunca Es Suficiente”.  Not one to shy away, Costello told the crowd at Cornerstone Berkeley that Glass Spells is β€œβ€¦a Mexican-American band…” who felt that they should β€œβ€¦honor their culture…” dedicating their set to those who live between two worlds.  Not only standing in the liminal space between dark and light, or between Mexican and American culture, or even between the sounds of the past and future, Glass Spells also stands on the precipice between niche and global stardom.  With Costello’s soaring mezzo-soprano and Ramirez’s shimmering riffs, Glass Spells are ready to pop and party with dance-ready singles like β€œVenom”, β€œWithout You”, β€œMirrors”, β€œConfessions”and β€œThrills”.  Keep an eye on these two and check out their catalogue here!

Tapes

Somewhere in the lush zone between MGMT and Post Malone, Tach Perez is here with a blend of ballads and synthy tracks.  A Santa Cruz native, his one-man show (originally a duo with friend Carlos Diaz) got the crowd on its feet and ready for Glass Spells.  Check out all his tracks here.
