I’m about to take a long flight and am looking to expand my music library.
EDIT: Thanks so much, everyone! I’ve got 10.5 hours of music on my new playlist thanks to you all!
Always been a Clutch fan, but I’ve been listening to Three Golden Horns a lot the past few days.
The Rumjacks. Irish punk / rock / folk and very good.
The original singer had some issues, and was replaced by another singer with a great voice :)
Machinae Supremacy - Sidology 3
Hump Back - 「番狂わせ」(Upset) - Will likely have to watch it through Invidious or a VPN with an exit node in Japan, afaik it region locked to Japan only… ;-;
The band was somewhat recently featured on Bocchi the Rock with one of the scenes in the linked video being adapted into the cover page.
I’m not obsessed with Wisp
it’s much deeper than that
King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. About to release their 27th album and have covered pretty much every genre so no matter what you like, there’s probably a record for you. My favorite is the Flying Yellow Microtonal Banana, full of great tracks, but Billabong Valley has broad appeal.
I love KGLW but I don’t like the microtonal stuff.
King gizzard are exceptional, only downside is that it can be a little intimidating with 27 studio albums to choose from for a first listener! Honestly a good method to pick based on what you like is from their album covers, they do a pretty good job summing up what it’ll sound like imo.
The other way to navigate it is if you get into the storyline of the Gizzverse, the fictional universe that is referenced throughout their songs, but not in chronological order. Trying to piece it together has encouraged me to branch out and listen to albums I otherwise might have ignored.

Passage Du Desir - Sturgill Simpson. His whole catalog is solid if you like more classic country (Merle/Willie)with some experimental elements.
Their Dogs Were Astronauts - Progressive, Djenty. Hard to pick a favorite track or album.
Opeth - Started as progressive death metal but they have gotten more chill and progressive and experimental over time. Favorites for me are Blackwater Park (on the harsher end of the spectrum), Windowpane (chill end of the spectrum), Reverie / Harlequin Forest.
The newest album release by Unlease the Archers
Love music that contains storytelling
Propagandhi - At Peace https://youtu.be/CDhTf3eaeoM
And if you want John K Samson doing indie rock with alt-country influence, the Weakerthans are fantastic. I highly recommend listening to Reconstruction Site straight through.
His solo stuff is great as well.
Sleep Token. New album coming soon too.
I got back into Ratatat recently and love the vibes in everything
Pat the bunny recently came out of retirement and released a new album called Friends in Real Lifehttps://open.spotify.com/artist/6k9PWB6N0siXTYtRn6hV6s). It’s quite good, as is pretty much everything he’s ever done.
This.
Been getting into Snapped Ankles and High Vis lately. Also, been enjoying Warmduscher. Snapped Ankles needs a North American tour. Are you listening? 😁
