S.G. Goodman - Planting by the Signs (2025)


Planting by the Signs is a deeply immersive roots-rock odyssey centered in Goodman's Kentucky upbringing, characterized by intimate storytelling and vivid character portraits—from a dying pet to small-town tensions—woven into meditative, slow-burning arrangements. Vocally grounded and tremolo-tinged, her style channels Lucinda Williams via Cat Power's introspective edge, riding on sparse but impactful instrumentation that spaces out emotional resonance. The album unfolds like a narrative tapestry: “Satellite” critiques modern disconnection, “Fire Sign” plants celestial metaphors in everyday struggles, and the epic “Snapping Turtle” delivers a shocking act of small-town justice. Featuring Bonnie “Prince” Billy and her co-producer Matthew Rowan, it balances heartbreak, reconciliation, and nature’s cycles in both story and sound—an Americana statement with profound personal and regional roots.

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.
