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]
Breaker was released to local acclaim, with the Boston Herald,[3] The Noise,[4] and DigBoston[1] all praising the energy and composition of the album.
