Toria Wooff - Toria Wooff (2025)


Toria Wooff’s self-titled debut is a haunting, assured collection drenched in melancholy and gothic storytelling. Her powerful, ethereal voice weaves through vividly painted folk narratives—from ghostly laments to elegiac ballads of loss and longing. Instrumentation—pedal steel, cello, organ, gentle strings—cultivates a misty Americana atmosphere that alternates between brooding tension and quiet hope. The strength of her songwriting shines, especially on standout tracks like “Lefty’s Motel Room,” “The Waltz of Winter Hey,” and “Estuaries,” where emotional depth and narrative cohesion resonate profoundly. Toria Wooff feels like the beginning of a compelling musical journey: intimate, evocative, and rich with promise.

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 .
