From the depths of Bandcamp, Car Seat Headrest has finally perfected their album "Twin Fantasy (Face to Face)." The group from Leesburg, Virginia originally began as a solo project for the lead singer/songwriter Will Toledo and slowly began to produce more music over the years.

With 12 albums on Bandcamp, the band signed with Matador Records in 2015 and released one of their most famous albums, “Teens of Denial,” in 2016. This album is a longer, better recorded, and more thought out version of their 2011 album "Twin Fantasy (Mirror to Mirror)." The title change is slightly different in order to differentiate between the two albums.

I can’t get enough of this album, and each song in its setlist sounds as if there are multiple different songs within it. Almost like a song-inception. Each track is weirder than the next, but Barnes knows how to formulate a song well, and can willingly lead the listener throughout the wackiness of them.

Each song transitions very well into each other, and because there are so many different sounds in each song, the album sounds longer than just an hour and eleven minutes.

The first two tracks are supposedly the most popular on the album, however, I disagree. I enjoy the first song, “My Boy (Twin Fantasy)” because it’s a great song that gets the listener prepared for what Car Seat Headrest is going to sound like.

Track two, “Beach Life-in-Death” is 14 minutes long, and is one of the longest tracks on the album. This song starts out peculiar, and lyrics like, “I was drunk when I came out to my friends, I never came out to my friends,” follows suit.

This song is great to study too because the listener can focus on the song at any point, and still follow along with it. Some lyrics in this song are also located in track nine “Famous Prophets (Stars)."

My favorite tracks on this album are four, “Sober to Death” and also track six, “Bodys.” I love these songs because they have so many different sounds and variations in each of them. Two minutes into “Sober to Death,” Toledo sings the lyric, “Every conversation just ends with you screaming. Not even words, just ‘Ahhhhh.’"

Upon hearing this lyric, I had to pause the song to laugh at how hilarious it sounded. “Bodys” sounds like something the Front Bottoms would have written, and I applaud Car Seat Headrest for sounding so similar.

This song is super catchy with the lyrics, “Those are you got some nice shoulders, I’d like to put my hands around them.” The song ends a few minutes later with a weird rap about how someone is on a “need to know basis.”

Each time I listen to this album I was pretty much done with it by “Famous Prophets (Stars)” because each song can be a tad too long at times. I would definitely recommend this album to anyone who loves indie rock, anyone that wants to expand their music taste, or anyone that wants to dance and jump around.

This album got a great 8 out of 10 and I would definitely buy this album on vinyl.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
