Hand Habits - Blue Reminder (2025)




Blue Reminder is Meg Duffy stepping into the light—crafting songs that balance the trembling vulnerability of falling in love with the quiet anxiety of remembering past losses. Recorded live with collaborators, the music feels conversational and immediate—guitars buzz with subtle grit, occasional horns and keys add texture, yet the intimacy remains intact. The album thrives on emotional dualities: optimism shaded by memory, tenderness edged with fear, present joy grounded in the past. Standout tracks like “Dead Rat,” “Wheel of Change,” and “Bluebird of Happiness” showcase Duffy’s ability to make the personal feel universal. Ultimately, Blue Reminder reaffirms Hand Habits’ evolution—sensitive, sincere, and ready to bloom from the wreckage.

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 .
