Poor Creature - All Smiles Tonight (2025)


All Smiles Tonight is an ethereal debut that bridges ancient Irish folk and modern soundscapes, weaving crystalline vocals and haunting traditional melodies into downtempo, trip-hop inspired arrangements. The trio’s luminous harmonies glide over textured production—subtle drones, reverb-drenched percussion, and atmospheric synths—creating an immersive ambience that feels both timeless and fresh. Traditional songs like “Adieu Lovely Erin” and “Bury Me Not” are reimagined with cinematic scope and psychedelic depth, evoking sorrow and resilience with uncanny power. Critics hail its emotional grandeur, calling it a masterclass in balancing darkness and light while honoring cultural roots. With its gothic folk gravitas and contemporary production edge, All Smiles Tonight stands as one of the year’s most spellbinding and original debuts.

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.
