Texas shoegazers Glare are turning up the heat with their latest single and video, Nü Burn. This explosive release comes ahead of their debut LP, ‘Sunset Funeral’—dropping on April 4th—and a North American tour with Superheaven this spring.
Imagine being swept away by wild, loose guitar riffs that conjure up endless deserts, timeless horizons, and sunsets that bleed into soft pinks. That’s the world of Glare—a place where every note paints a vast, unforgettable landscape. ‘Sunset Funeral,’ released through Deathwish Inc. and Sunday Drive Records, is a mesmerizing collection of dreamy grief. At first, its expansive, almost overwhelming textures might leave you breathless, but a closer listen reveals a rich mosaic of crushed sounds and hidden gems.
Nü Burn is a crunchy, lilting track that nods to the band’s grittier hardcore roots while embracing more traditional pop structures. Even when the music hits hard, there’s an underlying warmth—a gentle lift that connects the raw intensity with a steady, grounded pulse. It’s beautiful, humid, and deliriously immersive, reflecting the band’s belief that feelings can speak louder than words.
Glare explains it best: “Nü Burn is about that moment when the world seems to pause in the wake of loss. ‘I’ll find you in a new sun, feel a new burn’ is about reconnecting with those we’ve lost through the lingering warmth of memory. It’s a big, explosive song and probably our heaviest. When we finished writing it we immediately knew it’d be a single.”

Since forming in 2017 in Texas’ Rio Grande Valley, Glare have been more than genre-bound musicians—they’re like painters capturing vast realms of intense emotion. With a reputation for unforgettable live shows and a loyal online following, their music invites you to dive deep into feelings that are as raw as they are beautiful.
‘Sunset Funeral’ has been years in the making—a soulful document of mourning and the journey of grief as it weaves through our dreams and subconscious. Pre-order the album now and join Glare on tour as they support Superheaven across North America this April and May.
