Baxter Dury - Albarone (2025)


Allbarone sees Baxter Dury shedding some of his indie narrative shell in favor of bold, rhythmic landscapes powered by dance production and electronic textures. The vocals remain characterful, sardonic, and observational, but here they ride atop pulsing beats, shimmering synths, and dynamic grooves crafted by Paul Epworth. Tracks like Schadenfreude and Mockingjay strike a balance between catchy hooks and lyrical weight, revealing heartbreak, irony, and human contradiction in Dury’s typical dry wit. The album’s new direction suits him—he doesn’t lose his identity, but rather evolves it, combining dancefloor energy with lyrical depth. Overall, Allbarone emerges as a compelling reinvention: confident, playful, and surprisingly coherent in its melding of pop and post-indie edges.

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.
