Texas’ Glare is set to release Sunset Funeral (Deathwish, Inc./Sunday Drive Records), the band’s debut LP which is out April 4, 2025. The album is 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 if you look closer, you’ll find a multiplicity of heavily crushed textures and treasures.

When you hear music like Glare’s—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 that stretch back to the beginning of time. Infinite horizons melting into pink bokehs. It’s Texas, isn’t it? 

The band’s latest single, “Nü Burn,” is a crunchy and lilting number that 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 compared to any of their previous releases, as well as an attempt to lean into more traditional 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 music made by people whose feelings speak louder than their words.
