Hiroe - Wield (2025)


Hiroe’s debut album Wield is a commanding statement from Philadelphia’s rising post‑rock force, unfolding as a six‑track suite of emotional and sonic exploration. From the brooding opener “The Calm” through the thunderous surge of “Tides” and the ten‑minute build of “Collider,” it deftly balances doom‑tinged heaviness with shimmering atmospherics. Tracks like “Dancing at the End of the World” introduce synth and piano, injecting cinematic depth and defiant optimism, while closer “I’ve Been Waiting for You All My Life” lands with poignant, gut‑punch resonance. Across 48 minutes, Wield morphs from introspective restraint to expansive catharsis, cementing Hiroe as a band to watch in the genre and delivering one of the year’s most gripping instrumental journeys.

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 .
