Oddleaf sprang to life in early 2020, when Carina Taurer
(keyboards) and Mathieu Rossi (flute) decided that after a decade of
early and mediaeval music, it was high time for some prog-rock. They
gave birth to an all-new set of original material. And during 2021, they
took on quite a few new members: Olivier Orlando (guitar and bass),
Clément Curaudeau (drums), and vocalist extraordinaire Olivier Marcaud.
Despite this, Marcaud was no longer able to show dedication towards the
project by late 2023; as a result, he took away his singer hat and gave
it to Adeline Gurtner. This simply strengthened the natural and feminine
qualities as part of the ensemble persona. Oddleaf
proudly cites inspirations from the progressive music scene of the
1970s; their appreciation for the aesthetic qualities of 70s music is
evident in their fondness for the timeless sounds produced by
keyboards—particularly Mellotron and Hammond organ. At the same time,
Oddleaf embraces modern technologies and sounds, notably through the use
of the electronic flute, which belongs to the family of electronic wind
instruments. After performing live in
small venues, the band had the privilege of being the support act for
Franck Carducci, a French multi-instrumentalist regarded by Progarchives
as a crossover prog artist. At long
last, their debut album, "Where Ideal and Denial Collide," is now
available as a CD. This edition includes unlimited streaming through
the complimentary Bandcamp app, along with a high-quality download in
FLAC format. Download available in 24-bit/44.1 kHz.
