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.

Machinae Supremacy - Sidology 3 -- metal covers of songs from old video games actually also using a SID chip.
Glass Beams
Khruangbin
I can feel Khruangbin lower my stress within 10 seconds.
Yup. Very few bad songs too. They’re consistently great. Zionsville is my current high water mark for them. Just gorgeous. I never saw the appeal of the pedal steel guitar until that song.

Sleep Token. New album coming soon too.
Hump Back - 「番狂わせ」(Upset) /watch?v=zlcn57wdr9E - 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.
*Track from their newer album:
「がらくた讃歌」(Ode to Trash) /watch?v=XtuzSsFWKik
I've been getting into tech house lately. It's fun and catchy with really satisfying bass.
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 :)
All the music on the show Letterkenny is amazing and whoever curated that is a genius. I especially like Peaches, Fuck The Pain Away.

Passage Du Desir - Sturgill Simpson. His whole catalog is solid if you like more classic country (Merle/Willie)with some experimental elements.
Pat the bunny recently came out of retirement and released a new album called Friends in Real Life. It's quite good, as is pretty much everything he's ever done.

A Speculative Fiction - Propagandhi
Absolute banger, and prophetic no less. But really just everything Propaghandi has put out has been in heavy rotation the last 6 months
Colin Stetson is a fantastic ride. He plays instrumental music, but he's playing lower-pitched instruments *wrong.".
Mics on the keys are picking up rhythmic clicking acting as the percussion. He is sometimes shouting through the instrument. The end result sounds like a chase through the woods in the dark.
I was intrigued by your description but also thought I'd hate it. Gave it a listen and was pleasantly surprised, he's super talented and his music is totally unique.

Windhand. Sort of a psychedelic doom metal with groovy elements and a haunting, ethereal female vocalist

Meshuggah. I’ve known them for a while but only recently saw them live for the first time. Heaviest metal band I’ve ever seen live so far.
I got back into Ratatat recently and love the vibes in everything
i stumbled across magic city hippies two years ago and still have like 10 of their songs on heavy rotation. i love their easy poolside vibe. really smooth. feels like a summer party.
corazon < seemed ridiculous at first, but really grew on me. happy energy.
Cradle of filth - nymphetamine
The female vocals are amazing and beauty and the beast dynamic is done perfectly.
Not so much a particular artist but more of a genre: Instrumental covers of video game music. I haven't listened to much else in the last couple years:
In particular this acoustic guitar version of Gerudo Valley from Ocarina of Time:
And this piano version of Wood Carving Partita from Symphony of the Night:

Been getting into Snapped Ankles and High Vis lately. Also, been enjoying Warmduscher. Snapped Ankles needs a North American tour. Are you listening? 😁
Check out the album Glitter by Pasteboard. It's some good Japanese Shoegaze.

Free by Crush 40.
Also, Soul Coughing (El Oso since I only have that single album from them). Specifically Blame, $300, and Pensacola. This is my much more serious answer.
Dogpark Dissidents anarcho queercore punk band, need I say more?
The Eurovision 2025 playlist is out! It's a good time listening ahead of the Eurovision Song Contest, then you get to root for the song you like best. If you've never got into it, it's a good time to give it a listen.
