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!
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.
Sleep Token. New album coming soon too.
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.
I’ve been getting into tech house lately. It’s fun and catchy with really satisfying bass.
Passage Du Desir - Sturgill Simpson. His whole catalog is solid if you like more classic country (Merle/Willie)with some experimental elements.
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:
Always been a Clutch fan, but I’ve been listening to Three Golden Horns a lot the past few days.
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.
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.

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