Shura - I Got Too Sad For My Friends (2025)


I Got Too Sad For My Friends is a deeply introspective album crafted in the aftermath of pandemic-era isolation and personal upheaval. Shura channels melancholy through warm, lush production that marries swooning synth-pop with chamber-pop intimacy—woodwinds, organ, gentle percussion, and soft rock textures. Her lyrics dwell in the gloom of loneliness, but shards of humour and melodic brightness (“World’s Worst Girlfriend,” “Bad Kid”) bring a lightness that keeps the album from feeling overly somber. The record balances hushed vulnerability with delicate emotional lifts, offering a moving portrait of someone confronting sadness yet still reaching for connection. It’s Shura’s most personal and mature statement yet—brave, beautifully realized, and ultimately hopeful.

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 .
