Esthesis - Out of Step (2025)


Out of Step finds Esthesis embracing a darker, more expansive sonic palette—melding cinematic atmospheres, sharp riffs, electronic textures and progressive composition into one cohesive experience. The album alternates between contemplative moods and heavy, industrial-tinged passages, reflecting themes of alienation, hyper-connectivity and societal dislocation. Vocals are treated with depth: the interplay of male and female voices amplifies the emotive weight and adds a dramatic dimension to the music.  Reviewers highlight the album’s production value—rich, layered and designed for immersive listening (preferably with headphones in the dark). Overall, this is a standout in the progressive rock world: ambitious, polished and emotionally resonant—though its mood-heavy architecture may demand patience and concentrated listening.

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.
