ODDLEAF - The NEW sound of French Progressive-Rock

With their debut studio album "When Ideal and Denial Collide", Oddleaf makes a noteworthy entrance into the French progressive music scene. Their richly layered music proudly showcases the colours of a timeless symphonic progressive-rock, both inherited from the giants of the 1970s (Camel, King Crimson, Yes) and infused with influences from the contemporary scene (Wobbler, Big Big Train).

The album features the enchanting sounds of vintage keyboards (Mellotron, Hammond organ), both electronic and acoustic flutes, expansive four-part vocal harmonies, and the powerful yet refined singing of Adeline Gurtner. Composed by keyboardist Carina Taurer, the six tracks on the album are filled with vibrant melodies, seamlessly shifting between intimate and epic tones.

From the lyricism of "Life" to the acoustic delicacy of "Ethereal Melodies," from the poignant melancholy of "Back In Time" to the flamboyance of the instrumental "Coexistence," the listener is immersed in a wide range of emotions that leave a lasting impact. Furthermore, the album achieves a cohesive unity, with each track musically and lyrically connected by ecological and humanistic themes, celebrating the majesty of nature while questioning humanity’s place within it.

Carefully crafted in every aspect, produced with care by the band, and mastered by Jacob Holm-Lupo (White Willow, The Opium Cartel), When Ideal and Denial Collide is a true journey into progressive-rock territory—disorienting, moving, and constantly surprising.
This debut recording firmly establishes Oddleaf as one of the most promising bands of 2024.

Just discovered you through an early-morning review from the Prog Corner and I immediately sampled Ethereal Melodies. I am hooked! Is this album going to be released on vinyl?
