Their whole storyline-esque albums and even musical feel remind me a lot of Coheed and Cambria. I'd recommend No World For Tomorrow and In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3
Damn I'm listening to the album you suggested while typing this and it's all over the place haha, it's rad.
Nice, Dream Theater and Bbng in the houze.
Listening to Julian Lage Group, their album Gladwell this morning.
I have been a fan of Guerilla Toss's last two albums GT Ultra & Twisted Crystal.
I've have heard of some of this entitys,...
For myself, I'm in another "music by/for anxious people" mood. Shamokin!!! By Mostly Other People Do The Killing is like a demented cartoonists' idea of a jazz album mixed with an Eric Andre episode, performed by brilliant musicians. There's a bass solo on the song Evans City where I think the bass player destroys a bow. Not for the faint of heart or enjoyers of peaceful music.
Oh man I'm not even one song deep and already into this
It's definitely not "new", but I have been OBSESSED with The 1975 for the past month. Definitely have their faults and rightful criticisms, but a broad range of sounds and styles make up for it. The thicc AF British accent of the lead singer does make for fun car/shower karaoke.
I'll try to put together a good little list to show that off, but I'm on mobile so it may take a bit
If you love the British vibes, check out The Twilight Sad - you might dig their sound

That Andy Guy is great and this HAUNTED TRACK is great.
That's a pretty rad one
One of the best albums of the year, Kiwanuka combines folk, R&B, and Ugandan heritage in this beautiful soundscape. Sad/happy for him that tickets for all his upcoming US shows have sold out instantly.
Okay so I'm in mobile so pardon if this is short and/or formatted poorly
First of all, I've been on a "new music discovery" binge in thanks, surprisingly, to Amazons Music App and their "Discovered for you" playlist. I've had maybe 1 song in the past month I didn't like via the recommendation engine
Two songs I've fallen in love with are 1) Two Beers In by Free Throw, an angsty/guitar driven anthem of lightweights with heartbreak, and 2) Sleep by Bicurious. This song/band was actually hard to find out there on the interwebs. I love the bouncy pulse that then moves to a head banging chorus of sorts.
Give these both a listen!
I go on a lot of math rock sprees, so I really dug Sleep. And it it took me way too long to find it, but it reminds me a lot of a slightly less poppy of this song by And So I Watch You From Afar.
This jazzy futurism cover of Super Rich Kids is giving me CHILLS
fuck you guys this is a reminder to fix my links for chumps
edit: I have now successfully opened each of my links on Windows, Mac, iOS, and in Spotify for desktop, for mobile, and the web player. God just hates you.
Fuck you gonna film a video of me opening these links at work and spotify redirecting me to a webpage that just says WELCOME, FUCK OFF
Could have sworn I sent this to you a year and a half ago, but maybe not

Anna Meredith is my new fascination. Classically trained (but also) electronic musician, she finds vastly different ways to explore similar space in literally adjacent track numbers. For example, Inhale Exhale touches this fast paced operatic form of pop that tickles me, followed by Calion that feels like a it could be a deephouse space ballad. Thrilling.
These are...wild. I'm amazed they're part of the same album, albeit back to back! I'll have to find more of her. Calion to me felt like something out of the Tron soundtrack (which I love).
