Laufey - A Matter of Time (2025)


Laufey’s A Matter of Time unfolds like a polished chamber pop fairytale, balancing vintage charm with razor-sharp emotional truths. She peers into the complexities of love, identity, and grief with a voice that’s both elegant and raw—she trades rose-tinted whimsy for sharper self-awareness. Orchestral swells and jazz-inflected progressions frame lyrics that are puckish, existential, and occasionally funny, such as the breakup zinger “Tough Luck.” “Snow White” stands out as a heartbreak anthem, confronting beauty standards with breathless conviction. Across the album, her blending of tradition and modernity—guided by Aaron Dessner and Spencer Stewart—feels emotionally resonant and theatrically expansive.

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 .
