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. Nü 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. This is an ALL-AGES event. This is a delicensed show.
