Glare - Sunset Funeral (2025)

A good dreamy debut album alert. Glare, a band from Texas with fuzzy guitars and soothing vocals is here to make you stare. At their music. Somehow. Anyway, the music is great: it's airy and noisy and melodic, just how you like 'em.

I'm shocked with how accurate and sly the description of their album is asking about what people envision when listening to the airy guitar music and answering: "Vistas big enough to be forgotten in. Deserts which stretch back to the beginning of time. Infinite horizons melting into pink bokehs. It’s Texas, isn’t it?". I thought it was northern Sweden, but they may be right! Never been to Texas. But this music is not only about geographical comparisons, it is  all about emotions. Like you do when you write dreamy music. The band states that it is aimed "for people who don’t know how to talk about how they feel."

I can feel it in every track at the album, especially in the ethereal vocals contrasting with the rougher music. I especially like the songs that have tons of atmosphere, but there are the summits of very noisy guitar sounds towering over it form time to time, which is especially noticable in 2 Soon 2 Tell and its finish. If metal screaming was played on guitars, it could sound like this part. A very promising debut from the Americans.
