    In case my posting history (and in fact user name lol) doesn’t make it obvious - Infected Mushroom

    It’s impossible to pick a single example or a favourite track, since they vary so widely in style and it depends on what mood your in! But some of the better known classics are (best heard on headphones, unless you have a really incredible audio system):

    Bust A Move

    Heavyweight

    The Messenger

    Cities Of The Future

    And one from their 25th anniversary album
    A Cookie From Space

    And many many more in between, but I’ll leave it at that lol (E: the links are each from the full album playlist, so that’s a good place to start)

        Probably, I don’t know how I found them but I grew up in the 90s and 00s and never heard of them.

    AURORA, although I guess she’s gaining increased mainstream recognition now?

    Since I’m very hurdy gurdy focused atm, Patty Gurdy and Michalina Malisz (as well as her band LYRRE)

      Umphreys, Lotus, and STS9 have always been kind of a trifecta for me. I’ve also always liked Papadosio and it feels like they’re just getting better every time I see them.

      Potentially less widely known, a Michigan band called Chirp. I also recently discovered Kendall Street Company and their interpretation of Eyes of the World is so good it haunts me.

    Mutemath is one of my favorites. Every album is different. In recent years they got more electronic sounding and the band broke up a couple of years ago.

        I’m surprised they’re not more popular given how close their music is (or at least was early on) to Tame Impala.

        I think it’s great psychedelic rock without going too experimental.
