After releasing a string of singles and a highly acclaimed EP "Heavenly", Texas shoegazers Glare have finally announced “Sunset Funeral”, the band’s debut LP (out April 4 on Deathwish Inc. + Sunday Drive Records). The new LP is described as a fog of dreamy grief, where feeling supersedes language. On first listen, the album—which scans as vast as desert sand—may overwhelm the senses. But look closer, and you’ll find a multiplicity of heavily crushed textures, treasures. Take first single "Guts," with its sweetly chugging guitar line, that dissolves the borders between bliss and despair. The band comments: "‘Guts' is about an all consuming love. One that’s exciting and new it makes you feel anxious. A love that feels like it could last an eternity." They continue, "‘The song had several iterations before it was finalized. Months after getting the final mixes back, the lyrics were reworked and vocals were rerecorded. It’s a special song for us because we mulled over the tone, trying to get it right."

One of the great charms of Sunset Funeral, and of Glare overall, is how they approach such a large, celestial sound with humble materials. Among the shoegaze revivalists, 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.

The music drifts heavenward, though it’s still tethered down by steady foundations. It’s beautiful. It’s humid. It’s delirious. It’s music made by people whose feelings speak louder than their words. This is 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 Funeral is a document of unspeakable grief, charting the process of mourning and how it travels through our subconscious and dreams.

The band draws inspiration from 90s greats like Slowdive, Drop Nineteens, and Smashing Pumpkins while fitting right alongside the newer crop of 90s inspired shoegaze/alt-rock revival bands like Trauma Ray, DIIV, Whirr, Fake Eyes and the like.
