Please - Flashlight (2024) https://youtu.be/sSkcsuv_A8I
Cuntry Boner - Puscifer (2008?). This was a silly side project from the frontman of Tool (Maynard James Keenan). Maybe not a “gem” but it definitely is hidden and the song pops into my head roughly once per week.
Sang Real - Dredg (2005)
I believe Dredg are an alt rock band but they are hard to describe. Some tracks are more like math rock (not this one) and others are more like straight indie. This is probably their catchiest track.
Andy Stott - Violence (2014)
John Butler, Ocean - 65m views isn’t all that hidden but I’m sure there are a lot of people who haven’t heard it
Mirel Wagner - Red (2011) https://youtu.be/WgKQueNc7SY
Blinded - The Bots (2015)
The Fear - Ben Howard [2011]
Wisely & Slow - The Staves [2012]
Bad Things - Milky Chance [2017]
Release Your Problems - Chet Faker [2014]
Nameless Path - Marcus Foster [2011]
Crazy Fuckin’ Robot Body by Snowblood [2020] https://g.co/kgs/T1jQWzG
Maybe ‘gem’ is a bit of an overstatement (depending on your level of musical snobbery 😋) but I stumbled across this song/artist through Spotify at one point and ended up really digging it/them. They have another song I’d give honorable mention to as well, ‘Freaky Freaky’ I think is the name.
These certainly aren’t what I’d call ‘masterpieces’ or anything, but they’re fun songs I enjoyed and you might too if you can listen without thinking about it all too hard
Trippin Like I Do - Blackfeet Braves (2011). They changed their name to Mystic Rabbit for releasing their first album but I don’t think they ever found mainstream success. This is a really good 60s revival band. I think their first LP as Mystic Braves suffered from being over-produced but their older stuff as Blackfeet Braves is all sensational.
I’ve been slightly obsessed by Love Endeavour (Maurice Fulton Remix) by Alice Smith from 2014, Golden Fool by Gnome (and indeed the whole album), and Cabin Fever by Slomosa (and indeed almost everything they’ve done), both released last year

Default by Atoms for Peace. I was recently reminded of how good that song is, hadn’t listened for years 😃 (am a big Radiohead fan, but tend to forget side projects)
Kashus Culpepper - Who Hurt You
Just a handful of my lesser known favorites. All different genres.
