Swedish jazz-influenced group with the worst band name I've heard all year, but remarkably pretty music:

a Danish R&B artist who picked up a few blog posts and the like a few years ago (plus an Angel Haze collaboration); this approaches nocturnal R&B via guitars and not via everything I am sick of by now

violinist cora venus lunny has played on a lot of my favorite records, and I had no idea she (fairly recently, it seems) has solo work out: https://www.patreon.com/trancebranches

omg this is great! she plays the viola! nobody plays the viola! and she has a record out that's a response to bartok's violin sonata, which i apparently have not ever heard before (???) even though bartok is my favorite composer ever?
this thread is a treasure

no idea if this is the same vocalist from Babydrum (seems more likely than not) (really regret missing the boat on hearing their full tracks), or when these came out, and these may be the only two tracks ever to be in existence by her; however, they're quite promising, and more wistful than par

maykay from fight like apes tweeted about this Irish indie group PowPig, which is already nearly an instant listen for me, even if they didn't so often remind me of early throwing muses demos. this in particular is possibly the best song that will ever be written about The Room

someone made an aggregator that shows you a random YouTube video uploaded with the default name, and within the first five refreshes it turned up someone who appears to be someone affiliated with the whole post-weeknd thing.

sleep thieves' fortress EP was one of my favorite records of last year (as usual like an idiot I forgot to pitch it anywhere); I went on their soundcloud to see what tracks they liked, and this was the first among them; I was on the fence until the strings around 1:00. more of those, everywhere.

sort of in the intersection of alt-rock/dreampop/trip-hop (maybe just "teardrop") at times, and goes many places within it

I know very little about this artist but the label consistently releases stuff I like, this in kind of a japanese dream pop mode

that's a great track. coming from hokkaido and going to tokyo must be quite a shock. i have never been to japan but i always wanted to go.
