Two examples that come to me immediately are Enya and Smashing Pumpkins. If music starts feeling stale, I can put on Enya and music feels new again. It’s such a pleasant departure from the standard pop/rock/RnB etc sounds that dominate (even if I like those artists).

Anybody have their own equivalents?

      Thanks. I’m listening to The Hawk is Howling by Mogwai. On one hand it doesn’t sound that unique to me, but maybe it’s from all my time playing guitar in bands - I might just be immune to those sounds. But there is a certain something to it that keeps me listening.

      I haven’t heard Godspeed You Black Emperor mentioned in so many years, excellent example and thank you so much for bringing me back to them.

      Beach house have quite a few albums. Now I’m listening to Become (2023) and it’s starting off well with some unexpected turns in the progressions.
