Matt Berninger - Get Sunk (2025)


Matt Berninger’s Get Sunk is a reflective and deeply personal follow-up to his debut solo album, merging brooding baritone and alt‑rock sensibilities reminiscent of The National with fresh inflections of folk, country, and mellow piano‑driven moments. Written during a period of depression and a major life reset—moving from California to Connecticut—it balances melancholy with glimpses of optimism, as heard in introspective tracks like “Inland Ocean” and acoustic duets such as “Breaking Into Acting.” While some songs lose energy mid‑tempo, snippets like “Bonnet of Pins” and the closing “Times of Difficulty” offer moments of organic warmth and communal uplift. The album’s strengths lie in Berninger’s vivid lyrical vignettes and intimate instrumentation, even if it occasionally feels like ideas left half‑explored. Ultimately, Get Sunk stands as a testament to emotional healing and artistic growth, albeit with a few roads less traveled to full potential.

Oddleaf - Where Ideal and Denial Collide (2024)

Image
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 .
