Snarky Puppy - Somni (2025)


Somni is an ambitious dreamscape rendered in sound, where Snarky Puppy and the Metropole Orkest stretch jazz-fusion into orchestral territory with confidence and imagination. The opening “Waves Upon Waves” sets sail on lush strings and brass, launching into bittersweet melodies and layered solos that feel cinematic. In tracks like “Chimera” the ensemble embraces darker, more restless moods—a nightmare hidden in the dream. The album’s cohesion, its moments of quiet drift (“Between Worlds”), and its orchestral punch make it both relaxing and intellectually stimulating. For fans of expansive instrumental music that honours groove and complexity, this is a major statement.

Oddleaf - Where Ideal and Denial Collide (2024)

Image
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 .
