Glass Spells

Originally from Calexico and now hopscotching between Southern California metropolises, Glass Spells have forged ahead for three years now in the footsteps of ’80s disco-punk luminaries. The band — Anthony Ramirez and Suz Gonzalez, along with Michael Rasco and Mallory Garcia — debuted with an EP in 2014, and “Danger Streets” is the third single they’ve released this year. Synth-drenched with a buzzing bass line, Gonzalez sounds like a brunette Blondie, declaring “Bad decisions / makes good stories.” The song, the band says, “is about breaking free from your own fears, and expressing your ideas and emotions regardless of the response of others. It’s about taking risks and allowing others to connect and let love. It might feel dangerous, but there is always fun in that.” Dancing your trepidation away? We’re all for that.
