Neko Case - Neon Grey Midnight Green (2025)


Neon Grey Midnight Green is a grand and vulnerable work, one in which Neko Case confronts grief, memory, and longing with lyrical boldness and sonic breadth. She marries her keening alto voice to sweeping strings, chamber orchestration, and a band that shifts between quiet reflection and cathartic surges—on tracks like “Destination,” “Wreck,” and “Neon Grey Midnight Green” she balances restraint and abandon. The album thrives on contrasts: intimate lines—“Your fire’s hue / A maraschino cherry”—can explode into distortion and emotional intensity. In “Rusty Mountain,” she critiques the triteness of love songs while nonetheless staking her claim to their power on her own terms. Ultimately, Neon Grey Midnight Green reaffirm her as a songwriter unafraid to blend small, personal moments with epic gestures, building an album that feels both introspective and expansively alive.

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 .
