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.
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!
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.
Sleep Token. New album coming soon too.
I’ve been getting into tech house lately. It’s fun and catchy with really satisfying bass.
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.
This music video is my favorite piece of art in general too, be sure to read the description of the video.
I don’t think I’ve heard that, gonna check it out. I really like all the stuff they did with Leon Bridges, I wasn’t ever really a fan of that type of like country/r&b or what ever it is until then, but damn those albums/EPs are great.
I tried to go see them open for Toro y Moi one time, and Toro cancelled so it was just them for the whole set and they started just doing hip-hop covers in their style to extend their set and it was hands down one of the best shows I’ve ever been to.
Oh nevermind! Zionsville is on my favorite album they’ve done. I don’t know the track names because I usually just throw on a whole album at once
This will likely be my favorite for a long long time. Just so relaxing.

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
Passage Du Desir - Sturgill Simpson. His whole catalog is solid if you like more classic country (Merle/Willie)with some experimental elements.
Chumbawumba
On the Day the Nazi Died. Good track.
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
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!
Ghostface killah
Twelve Reasons To Die might be my favorite solo wu album
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.
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.
Always been a Clutch fan, but I’ve been listening to Three Golden Horns a lot the past few days.
Cradle of filth - nymphetamine
The female vocals are amazing and beauty and the beast dynamic is done perfectly.
