Evadne - The Fragile Light of Fireflies (2025)


Evadne’s The Fragile Light of Fireflies reimagines their 2021 album The Pale Light of Fireflies in this stripped-down, unplugged acoustic counterpart, trading their signature melodic doom/death metal heft for hauntingly beautiful piano, gentle acoustic strings, and ethereal clean vocals. The record transforms tracks like “Under Blessed Skies” and “Hollow Realms” into intimate, gothic‑tinged folk‑rock narratives, enhanced by layered guest vocals from emotional standouts like Jaani Peuhu and Carline Van Roos. The mood is contemplative and melancholic, with moments of sensual groove glimmering through the gloom. While one or two closing tracks lose a bit of focus compared to the album's strong momentum, the production weaves a majestic yet tender atmosphere that rewards immersive listening. The Fragile Light of Fireflies stands as a stunning testament to Evadne’s versatility, seamlessly blending post-metal melancholy with acoustic folk’s fragile beauty.

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.
