Eleven months ago dreampop band Glaare introduced their coming, anticipated sophomore album, Your Hellbound Heart, with first single and video, Mirrors. A second offering off the coming full length, Young Hell, comes with another picturesque visual which showcases more of the band's charming dark aesthetics.
An act composed of experienced members, founders Brandon Pierce (Ancestors, Buried at Sea, Black Mare, Soft Kill) and Rachael Pierce who cut her teeth demoing pop songs for major labels, together with Marisa Prietto (Wax Idols, Bizou) and Rex Elle (Black Math Horseman, Animato), the Los Angeles-based Glaare continue fleshing out their vision for a gothic pop sound which mingles elements from many different aspects of the dark underground.
"We were going through a terrible time," the band comment on their new material. "Life kicked our ass and made us swallow. Then our peers came and threw tomatoes in our face. We wrote this while our psyches were shattering into dust. Realizing that nothing and no one has ever been the way you saw it, that’s what madness is truly made of. None of us have ever nor will ever say the direct seeds of our creations. It’s irresponsible and we are way too reclusive for that. It’s also tacky. What we will say is recording this was like getting peeled alive. We do this because we have to. Because we can’t survive without it. But make no mistake about it, it’s excruciating."
Your Hellbound Heart will be out on April 30th, 2021 via Weyrd Son Records.
