Cliff And Ivy - Sinister Stars (Album Review)

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!
