Hiromi's Sonicwonder - Out There (2025)


OUT THERE captures Hiromi and her Sonicwonder quartet at full flight: dazzling technical mastery is paired with playful invention and genre-hopping joy. From the explosive opener “XYZ” to the suite of four “Out There” movements, the music flows with relentless energy and unexpected elegance. The quieter moments, like the vocal-inflected “Pendulum”, reveal a graceful sensitivity amid the fireworks. Production clarity allows every instrument—from Hadrien Feraud’s bass to Adam O’Farrill’s trumpet—to shine, giving the ensemble true cohesion. For listeners who relish fusion’s bold possibilities, this is a high-voltage, deeply rewarding ride.

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.
