Yungblud - Idols (2025)


Yungblud’s Idols (released June 20, 2025) marks a bold evolution: front‑loaded with the nine‑minute rock opera “Hello Heaven, Hello,” it embraces British musical heritage—from Britpop swagger to orchestral drama. Emotionally raw tracks like “Zombie,” inspired by his grandmother’s struggles and featuring Florence Pugh in the video, underscore themes of identity, loss, and self‑reclamation. Recorded in Leeds, the album digs into his roots, blending dynamic guitar‑driven energy with reflective lyricism exploring masculinity, mental health, and personal growth. This is Yungblud unfiltered: ambitious in scope, cohesive in vision, and assured in tone—his most mature and self‑claimed record to date. It balances arena-ready thunder with intimate confessions, solidifying his place as a British rock voice with depth.

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 .
