When you hear music like thisโthe wild, loose and woozy drags of guitar; the impossible beauty of it allโwhat kind of landscape presents itself in your mind? Vistas big enough to be forgotten in. Deserts which stretch back to the beginning of time. Infinite horizons melting into pink bokehs. Itโs Texas, isnโt it?ย
Formed in 2017 in Texasโ Rio Grande Valley,Glare arenโt so much genre traditionalists as they are painters of wide realms and intense moods. The four-piece band has already accumulated a large audience, both in the flesh with their reputation for sell-out shows, and on the internet, a place where people go to short-circuit feelings through their screens.
Sunset Funeral, the bandโs debut LP (Deathwish Inc. & Sunday Drive Records) is a fog of dreamy grief, where feeling supersedes language.ย On first listen, the albumโwhich scans as vast as desert sandโmay overwhelm the senses. But look closer, and youโll find a multiplicity of heavily crushed textures, treasures.
