Name a group, band, artist, or track you're really into right now
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!
you probably won't like this but I like it

Japanese Breakfast, the latest single Picture Window has been living in my head rent free since I first heard it
Cool song, cool video
Oh dank, I had no clue there was a video. Good callout, the new album was great
Artist: Bear Ghost
Album: Jiminy
Song: Sirens
The whole album is great and I'm always trying to get more people to listen to this band.
The new Deafheaven album is amazing.
Snooze - I Know How You Will Die - Out of left field discovery. They have a really diverse sound scape. It's mostly metal but does a good job of not following a set genre of metal.
BCNR - Forever Howlong - is a grower, not a shower. At first I didn't really like Tyler's songs because she left absolutely no room for anything to breath. But I've done a 180 on them as I find her voice so soothing.
dang, I think we'd be great friends! The Snooze album is most likely going to be my album of the year, and I also strongly agree, new Deafheaven is fucking great. Looking forward to the new Vildhjarta too, whenever that drops!
For me it's a track by an artist called tuki:
ひゅるりらぱっぱ - HYURURIRAPAPPA

This is my favorite new to me song of the month: https://pearlcharlesmusic.bandcamp.com/track/does-this-song-sound-familiar-12-version
tagged as rock, desert rock, folk rock, garage pop, psych folk, psychedelic pop
HappyHappy: Cream Cheese. Song
Aviators, I like a lot of their game inspired music such as A Thousand Eyes, inspired by Bloobourne and some of their personal creations such as "Godhunter," and "My Church"
green day all day rn, my girlfriend got me their entire discography and ive been loving it. saviors is an amazing album on top of their classics
Idc about Coachella usually but been loving the banter between them and Charli
Sayonara Wild Heart which is a synth-pop album and a rhythm game simultaneously.
All the music on the show Letterkenny is amazing and whoever curated that is a genius. I especially like Peaches, Fuck The Pain Away.
Hell yes, I already several songs from the show on my regular playlists.
It's just so perfectly selected. Not much music I would normally listen to, but it's all really lovely to have discovered.
Lol that song has been around forever. Still a banger!
I remember dancing to it at alternative music night at the bar when I was 23.
The Heavy
Kaleo
Propagandhi - At Peace https://youtu.be/CDhTf3eaeoM
I was about to suggest this, can’t wait for the album
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.
I remember seeing all the hype for that record when it came out but didn't get it until catching them live at Outbreak fest, immense stuff
Kanaan
Reign Wolf
Goodbye June
The Chats
Smoko by The Chats is an absolute masterpiece
That is the song that introduced me to them!
Sleep Token. New album coming soon too.
Chumbawumba
On the Day the Nazi Died. Good track.
The Armed and Idles. Seriously can't get enough of them.
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.
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.
I love KGLW but I don't like the microtonal stuff.
To each their own. That's part of what makes KGLW so fascinating. They're a band that two people with very different musical tastes can both love equally!
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.
This.
I got back into Ratatat recently and love the vibes in everything
The new Skrillex album is quite possibly his best.
MF DOOM
Such a vast discog, love the King Geedorah record
"Ask anyone" is a good track about him by lice (Aesop Rock and homeboy sandman).
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.
I've been getting into tech house lately. It's fun and catchy with really satisfying bass.
8485 - I don't want to hurt him
It's hyperpop
I was obsessed with Duress at one point in lockdown, underrated artist
Been getting into Snapped Ankles and High Vis lately. Also, been enjoying Warmduscher. Snapped Ankles needs a North American tour. Are you listening? 😁
Machinae Supremacy - Sidology 3 -- metal covers of songs from old video games actually also using a SID chip.
doseone’s new album with Steel Tipped Dove is EXCELLENT. dose deserved so much more fame than he got.
rest in peace, Alias.
I'll check that out, no idea he was still making music! And yeah rip Alias, loved Anticon and his own material back in the day (that Deep Puddle Dynamics record <3)
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
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.
I'm digging independent artists Melancholic crossroads and Emily Jeffri right now.
Zoomst They have one studio album and 90 monthly listeners on spotify but have a great prog sound. Aweizawei is my favorite from the album so far.
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 :)
Hmmmm Not exactly what you are asking about, but i love the energy of "Kickstart my heart" by Motley Crue and "Get it on" by Turboneger.
Both starts hard sang continues in the same fashion. I want more og that energy and rhythm.
"Stand up and shout" by Dio is close, but it feels tiny bit harder/faster.
Anybody got other songs in the same vibe/ energy. Not a slow build up. Just 1-2-3-4 rock!
"Ha de sarar" from Maro
Northern Portrait.
Latest album is titled “The Swiss Army” and was released in 2022.

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
Kygo. Just really really good music (especially the latest album "KYGO" and "Thrill of the Chase".
Passage Du Desir - Sturgill Simpson. His whole catalog is solid if you like more classic country (Merle/Willie)with some experimental elements.
I recently discovered the band Mar Malade and its really great!
Ghostface killah
Twelve Reasons To Die might be my favorite solo wu album
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.
I'm glad you like it!
I found him some time ago and it's great to unwind after a tough day. I'll play it on my Bluetooth speaker in the shower.
The Deli
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'm not obsessed with Wisp
it's much deeper than that
The Hooters - 500 Miles
outkast speakerboxxx/the love below. its like 2 hours perfect for plane ride
Windhand. Sort of a psychedelic doom metal with groovy elements and a haunting, ethereal female vocalist
Listened to them a bit in my metal days, impressed to see them have over 80k monthly listeners on Spotify now!
Stromae & Pomme - Ma Meilleure Ennemie
Some days I just listen to it on repeat for hours.
Anna Diem, indie artist from Oregon and her music just makes me bop! Christmas Puppy is so sweet! I love gay music 🏳️🌈
My fave album for takeoffs is The Campfire Headphase by Boards of Canada, especially after taking an edible https://open.spotify.com/album/6uO5B6km2Dco28tOBmZtSU
