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 βgoth discoβ, from Yaz to Stacey Q to Cut/Copy to their newest single, a dancier, synthed-out cover of Natalia Lafourcadeβs βNunca Es Suficienteβ. Not one to shy away, Costello told the crowd at Cornerstone Berkeley that Glass Spells is ββ¦a Mexican-American bandβ¦β who felt that they should ββ¦honor their cultureβ¦β 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 Costelloβs soaring mezzo-soprano and Ramirezβs shimmering riffs, Glass Spells are ready to pop and party with dance-ready singles like βVenomβ, βWithout Youβ, βMirrorsβ, βConfessionsβand βThrillsβ.
