SunYears - The Song Forlorn (2025)


The Song Forlorn is a heartfelt voyage through maturity and memory, weaving folk-rock warmth with vulnerability and melodic finesse. Morén expands his sonic palette—from the melancholic strum of “Dark Eyes” to glossy harmonies in “Last Night on the Mountain,” and the grief-soaked tenderness of “Your Dad Was Sad.” Ballads like “If You Were to Ask” shine with haunting lyricism and piano intimacy, while songs such as “(Going To A) Cruel Country” and “The Body” bring pulsing energy and candid reflections on aging. Guest collaborators—including Lisa Hannigan, Madison Cunningham, Nicole Atkins, and De Clair—elevate the emotional landscape, making this SunYears chapter feel both deeply personal and richly collaborative.

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 .
