San Diego Dark Synth-pop act Glass Spells Return with “Thrills”

Die the way
You left inside
Pride won’t save
Your bitter heart

A chilling soundtrack for a drive down a lost highway, San Diego dark synth-pop act Glass Spells have returned with their icy and rhythmic new song and video, “Thrills”. The track heralds the release of their forthcoming new album Shattered, and is a formidable follow-up to last year’s Mirrors EP.

Luring in the listener with its catchy leads and bass, “Thrills” shivers with analogue synths glittering in the dark, whose cold melodies are kept warm by deep bass, drum beats, and dreamy vocals. With mid-80s dancefloor beats whose production echoes the soundtracks of cult indie films of the past decade, the song conjures an idealized and nostalgic dream world without being a pastiche.

Glass Spells new LP Shattered is set to be released on August 6, 2021, through Negative Gain, followed by a show on August 14th at Soda Bar, San Diego to celebrate the release of the new album.
