A new French symphonic rock band making their debut here. The singing is strong and flute and keyboards dominate! “Comfortingly retro, but refreshingly modern and inventive as well. Well done!”
“With their debut studio album Where Ideal and Denial Collide, Oddleaf makes a noteworthy entrance into the French progressive music scene. Their richly layered music proudly showcases the colors 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.”
