Alaska's goth duo Cliff and Ivy are back with a fantastic new album "Sinister Stars"! From start to finish, this album is full of great riffs, dark themes, killer lyrics, and legendary features! Their unique punk/goth rock sound has never sounded better. A few things really stood out, such as the track "Take It All Back", which started with a really nice piano solo, before going into a bit heavier of a song than the rest of the album, breaking up the uniformity of their sound. Another really neat one was "Will The Circle Be Unbroken", which is a traditional hymn that they took and totally made it their own in the coolest of ways. "Soul Garbage", a psychedelic distorted spoken word piece was a unique element. The final track on the album includes bongos! Of all things to be included on a goth album, that was not something I expected, but definitely enjoyed! I think my favorite track on the whole album though is the second track, "We Ignite". That song has really catchy beautifully bleak ritualistic lyrics, a rockin' guitar solo, and does a great job of setting the tone for the album. This whole album is great! It comes out on October 4th! Make sure you pre-order and pre-save it!
Since re-discovering this timepiece, it's given me the watch bug. The piece has an aura of luxury and since link it's 25-years-old I get a small taste of link what vintage feels like. At 46, I felt oddly "grown-up" while wearing it. link I started to see quickly why people get into collecting watches.
This feels like a teaser to me. In fact, Swatch put a note in its announcement for this watch to stay link tuned – maybe even next link month. Whether that means that Swatch and Omega are waiting for the next full moon to coat new seconds hands-on special Missions to the Moon models in new link cities remains to be seen.
Torres and Cook were working at the same tech company in the mid-2010s. Torres, California native that he is, got in the habit of link surfing in the mornings before heading to the office. But he had a problem. On his post-undergraduate budget, he couldn't find a watch that could link go from the beach to the link office. Daniel Wellington and the ilk couldn't survive the morning's waves. A G-Shock could handle the surf no problem, but it was too bulky to wear in the office.
