Breaker (Vary Lumar album)

Breaker is the third studio album by the Boston alternative rock band Vary Lumar. Experiencing a lull in morale following the exit of original guitarist Ben Case, the band found themselves revitalized after a string of singles and performances with new member Christopher G. Brown.[1] Working again with longtime producer Sean McLaughlin at 37' Productions, the band spent much of the Summer of 2014 tracking the album. A successful Kickstarter campaign enabled the album to be released on vinyl.[2]

gollark: Also, interestingly enough, while it's not well-known because the UI is kind of awful and it's poorly documented, RFTools builders *can* selectively mine.
gollark: Although Utsuho is committing heresy and Environmental Tech is awful since it goes for "balance" by using increasingly giant amounts of resources and boring progression chains instead of requiring any independent thought whatsoever.
gollark: It takes me AT LEAST two hours of manual work before I have enough automation up for some sort of automatic ore generation.
gollark: I mostly just do 11 because something something lava.
