WHEN YOU HEAR music like this the

wild, loose, and woozy drags of

guitar; the impossible beauty of it all-what

kind of landscape presents itself in your

mind? Vistas big enough to be forgotten in.

Deserts which stretch back to the begin-

ning of time. Infinite horizons melting into

pink bokehs. It's Texas, isn't it?

Formed in 2017 in Texas' Rio Grande

Valley, Glare aren't so much genre tradi-

tionalists as they are painters of wide

realms and intense moods. The four-piece

band has already accumulated a large au-

dience, both in the flesh with their reputa-

tion for sell-out shows, and on the internet,

a place where people go to short-circuit

feelings through their screens.

Sunset Funeral, the band's debut LP, is a

fog of dreamy grief, where feeling super-

sedes language. It's music, as guitarist Toni

Ordaz puts it, "for people who don't know

how to talk about how they feel." An album

that's been years in the making, Sunset Fu-

neral is a document of unspeakable grief,

charting the process of mourning and how

it travels through our subconscious and

dreams.

One of the great charms of Sunset Fu-

neral, and of Glare overall, is how they ap-

proach such a large, celestial sound with

humble materials. Among the shoegaze re-

vivalists, Glare come to the canvas with a

more resourceful, DiY perspective than

many of their peers. Glare's music is too

sublime, too huge to sound like it came

from any kind of manmade instrument, tiny

amp box or otherwise.

On first listen, Sunset Funeral-which

scans as vast as desert sandmay over-

whelm the senses. But look closer, and

you'll find a multiplicity of heavily crushed

textures, treasures. "Guts', with its sweetly

chugging guitar line, dissolves the borders

between bliss and despair. "2 Soon 2 Tell',

one of the album's most gauzily romantic

tracks, is both tense and transcendent. N&uuml;

Burn, a crunchy and lilting number, harkens

back to the band's grittier hardcore roots.

But even when they deign to go hard, you

can hear a softening in Glare's sound com-

pared to any of their previous releases, as

well as an attempt to lean into more tradi-

tional pop song structures. The music drifts

heavenward, to be sure, though it's still

tethered down by steady foundations. It's

beautiful. It's humid. It's delirious. It's mu-

sic made by people whose feelings speak

louder than words.
