Sigur Ros Shows Softer Side of Music
by Jessica Safavimehr, staff writer
Sigur Ros are truly one of a kind. There is no better
evidence than their newest release “Takk,” a venture into
unknown musical territories.
“Takk” is promising to be a bit of a change from the normal
ambient sounds of Sigur Ros, adding a touch of pop with a
slightly harsh tone.
There is no concept to “Takk.” The music and lyrics simply
flow together to form a beautiful masterpiece. This is music,
simple and pure music, with nothing to filter out the raw
emotion the musicians feel. Sigur Ros is the type of band that
allows their audience to get lost in the music. In this album,
Sigur Ros finally integrates their Icelandic heritage with
lyrics sung in their native language rather than in their
made-up Hopelandic.

When any type of tragedy occurs in the
United States, the attention of every American is drawn toward
that certain event, their patriotism seizing their hearts and
compelling them to help out the cause.

created in Louisiana deserves the attention and support from
those who care, people must not let the evil creature known as
politics have an opportunity to slip out from under their radar
and create its own type of destruction without their knowledge
or awareness.

by Debra Guerrero, staff writer
Before setting
up for a recent open mic night at Jake’s Sports and Bar Grill,
Daniel R. Cadra, one of Lubbock’s most talented country artists,
sat down to share a little bit of his personal history.
Cadra sings and
plays the guitar every Thursday from 9:30 p.m. until midnight,
and he sounds phenomenal. Music has always been a big part of
Cadra’s life. He started playing the piano when he was 5 years

started playing the guitar and he hasn’t been able to put it
down.
