BØL - Where glitter goes (2025)


BØL’s Where Glitter Goes is a bold, genre-defying debut that fuses trance-like jazz-rock rhythms with post-rock's brooding textures and the raw intensity of rock, delivering an immersive and cathartic sonic journey. The six-piece ensemble from Toulouse uses hypnotic polyrhythms, dynamic tension, and vivid instrumental storytelling to craft landscapes where eruptive crescendos and quiet introspection intersect—moving from visceral tribal grooves to moments reminiscent of midnight contemplation. Drawing inspiration from Radiohead’s introspective atmospheres, Tool’s rhythmic heft, and the exploratory spirit of modern jazz-rock and avant-garde acts, the album feels both earthy and cerebral, club-like and cinematic. Occasional ethereal interludes offer balance, yet the album's relentless energy and depth of expression ensure it's far more than background music—it demands full attention. Where Glitter Goes stands as a compelling declaration of artistic ambition, positioning BØL as visionary torchbearers in contemporary instrumental fusion.

Oddleaf - Where Ideal and Denial Collide (2024)

Oddleaf’s debut album, Where Ideal and Denial Collide , is a fresh entry in progressive rock, combining lush, symphonic elements with retro influences from bands like Camel and Renaissance. The album, produced and recorded with exceptional attention to sonic detail, explores themes of environmentalism and human disconnection from nature, creating a rich narrative across its six tracks. Musically, the album mixes haunting flute lines, Mellotron textures, and dynamic shifts between electric and acoustic instrumentation, with standout vocals from Adeline Gurtner that are both emotive and ethereal. Tracks like “Life” and “Back in Time” balance infectious, vintage-inspired melodies with introspective lyrics, giving the album a timeless yet urgent feel. This blend of pastoral and dark themes marks Where Ideal and Denial Collide as a promising and inventive contribution to the prog scene​ The PROG Mind   Prog Rock Central   Prog Rock Central .
