sorted by genre, some are forthcoming but all have at least some singles out if not the whole project
alternative/singer-songwriter:
claire rousay - sentiment, experimental/sound collage artist makes an indie guitar ballad album, think boygenius with weirder production
South Hill Experiment - South Hill & Friends, S/H/E are like The Wrecking Crew but in modern times. basically a jam band fronted by two brothers who feature a rotating cast of other musicians/vocalists/rappers. this EP is their latest collaborative project with some folks
Laetitia Sadier - Rooting for Love, solo album of the frontwoman of Stereolab. production has some electronic quirks but mostly kind of alt rock at its core. lots of songs are in french, themes of love and conflict and commentary on social concepts
electronic:
Nourished by Time - Catching Chickens EP, this guy is like the David Byrne of rnb in terms of unique vocal affectation and song concepts. instrumentation is very inspired by 80s/90s club music and early digital production
Thy Slaughter - Soft Rock, actually a very energetic electronic pop record, the last PC music release EVER :(
Squarepusher - Dostrotime, idm wackiness but in the best way. if you just want to jump head first into some bleep bloop drum break madness this is your album (first track is chill guitar instrumental tho)
shoegaze/dream pop
Punchlove - Channels, some CLASSIC style shoegaze here, less pure walls of sound and more melodic and rhythmically driven but though that typical fog you'd expect from the genre
crushed - extra life, vocals are great, production blends triphop/dream pop so the atmosphere across the record is stunning but groove-driven

I’ve been talking about hanging up these things for nearly a year and yesterday I was struck with the realization that I can just DO it. So I did and it’s been making me so happy every time I walk in the room.
Just do the thing. Hang the photo, rearrange the furniture, paint the accent wall. You can always change it back (but you probably won’t even want to).
