Mac DeMarco - Guitar (2025)


Guitar is Mac DeMarco’s most intimate and emotionally unfussy album yet, composed and recorded alone in just twelve days at his L.A. home studio. Without synths or overlays, its sparse instrumentation lets his voice, guitar, and candid songwriting shine—grappling with loss, sobriety, and personal rebirth. The stripped-back aesthetic delivers a sincere resonance: moments in “Nightmare,” “Knockin’,” and “Sweeter” feel like raw diary entries set to melodic confession. Critics have praised its simplicity and warmth as markers of maturity, though some view the minimalism as underpowered compared to his fuller earlier albums. Overall, Guitar stands as a heartfelt, hopeful milestone in DeMarco’s evolution.

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 .
