hey all, need to give my algorithm a kick in the ass and break out of the same ol rotation, can I get some music recs? anything goes, youtube preferred if links but artist/album names are fine too
Tabletop, video games, sports and maybe someday some other things if I get the ambition to learn.

My go-to recommendation is Anomalie - Métropole: https://youtu.be/8b4QfVEnGpo
However, if you've already heard of him, I'll recommend this singles compilation from Nelward. The music is a little out there timbrally, I really like it. https://nelward.bandcamp.com/album/singles-vol-1 (for posterity here is a YouTube link too https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWKK2elPgoS5hkMysLB08e1coou2jfT-n)
Heard Velours by Anomalie just a week before you posted this, it is really great. I had tried some Nelward and wasn't super into it before but I must have missed GHOST, really good. thanks!
New Tea by Shanghai Restoration Project feels up your alley! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LL3609_Jgco
also gotta shoutout Kikuo for doing the coolest, spookiest shit with vocaloids: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I15sK7dNMOM
Lately I have been obsessing over this track: https://youtu.be/Wu9bm-RJMWM
Probably my favorite track Trent Reznor made.
Sonic Dragolgo also never fails to cheer me up: https://youtu.be/nbQYBD0mn2o
Delaware by Drop Nineteens was an instant classic for me: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kNZUlv1u9bZNDfQ-Iu0e7Eeqi_vSkrkvQ
but I am also a huge fan of MM...FOOD by MF DOOM: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nrJrTr7PqEnT6S3NPxIuTf-6Z6lZWIBOM
idk if any of this stuff'll be up your alley but here's some random recommendations off the top of my head:
Bartees Strange - Boomer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFaZ43nW28c
The Beths - Silence is Golden: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5ZxW1r1Zc8
Teamonade - Do & Die: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yDXQJxXAaM

nate smith - square wheel, but i can i recommend this whole album https://youtu.be/OGlQI2ypLrA
camoufly - kaleidoscope https://youtu.be/yaZI5HvS2Fo
paramore - running out of time https://youtu.be/toKJP3luQbI
charli xcx - twice https://youtu.be/B8nsbqc1EoE

Here's my metal picks from the last couple years
Critical Defiance - Killing With Kidness
Suffering Hour - The Abrasive Black Dust Part II
Some recent additions to my library i've been enjoying:
betcover!! - Tamago: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nHcaRQBev3iNovpgpBgXPYMuVrORV9bv0
nouns - While of Unsound Mind: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_n3FNj0e-OCJroGu5nmX-Xu60OjCx9Fx0I
Spangle call Lilli line - Ampersand (sorry for the Spotify link but that and Apple Music are the only official releases of this in the US rn) https://open.spotify.com/album/2WQwITVOBHDt6YzUa2tSnt
Birds in Row - Gris Klein: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mTIzO2bS47Ns6QGpZYYW4pTUg9U-ii1Bs
Zulu's also got a new album coming out next week I'm real excited for too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evaTG-Pco2c
and I'll always take time to shoutout Soul Glo's newest album, Diaspora Problems, from last year while I'm at it: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_m_aXT6Q_2owigITuv0AQC3nelTc7FOvtA
we listened to Dar Williams a bunch to process some traumas, last year. maybe, uh, not as radical as we'd prefer overall but very good at speaking to certain experiences.
Have my newest obsession, Matahari by L'Impératrice: https://youtu.be/v88GTmqvQ28
Just listened to Prizes Roses Rosa's album "Burned Car Highway Light Volcanic" yesterday - two hours of dense plunderphonics / psychedelic experimental post-rock ambient sound collage that will leave you saying "RIP Grant Imahara". The track "Through" is a highlight for me. https://youtu.be/MbcVE5vP8BU https://p-rosa.bandcamp.com/album/burned-car-highway-light-volcanic
Oli XL's "Rogue Intruder, Soul Enhancer" has been HITTING THE SPOT again and again lately. It's got that lush, yet cold/sterile/clear/sharp/technological textural vibe that makes me feel like I'm where I'm supposed to be in the universe. https://youtu.be/Mf1n97iLh_U https://olixl.bandcamp.com/album/rogue-intruder-soul-enhancer
Laurel Halo's "Dust" is an all-time favorite. It's as if it spawned from a pool of my love of music. "Do U Ever Happen" feels like the greatest forgotten music of my dreams leaking into the real world. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nkfSyTY-bXYWIZadAz7zlXf-kDCEbgAB4 https://laurelhalo.bandcamp.com/album/dust
Mirna Bogdanović is a vocal jazz artist who I'm currently excited about. The arrangements of traditional and electronic instrumentation that accompany her voice are deep and beautiful enough to match it. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lS37G2Xs8Qw_XmhNU5V4lY-1EirBZwBzg https://mirnabogdanovic.bandcamp.com/album/confrontation
More favorites and other random things I want to point to without writing about all day:

Adding to the huge pile of recommendations:
e: set up a Youtube playlist with the current recommendations, will try and update it but lmk if any artists are missing (settled on picking the first track from albums linked as separate tracks)
Caroline Polachek - I Believe https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXL_4Lv38nY
Perfect, weird pop banger. Her whole new album is front-to-back excellent
i've been listening to all of they might be giants' discography in chronological order they have like 900 songs so im missing some but the main studio and compilation albums are all on youtube
i just got put onto Airiel - Winks & Kisses: Melted EP
shoegaze, kinda my-bloody-valentine-meets-the-smiths
Black Cab album by Higher Brothers
good beats and one of the members is named Melo
I've been on a real roll listening to Kan Sano as of late. Just real nice nu jazz/neo soul kind of vibes, check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ki4zPBnfPI4
And if you're an enjoyer of weird shitty little painfully digital fake horns (I know you are, I remember some synth abominations you posted back on the twitter) also be sure to check out the production he did on this bop: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8CHtYfm0pfI
And for a completely different vibe, I don't think you're much into fighting games, so on the off chance you missed it, Guilty Gear: Strive had insanely baller soundtrack. Just self-indulgent as fuck, Daisuke Ishiwatari going for every single genre of rock and metal he could think of and cranking banger after banger of full vocal tracks, including some utter abominations like six minute monsters cycling through seven completely separate song ideas. It owns big time and this one is probably my fav song of them all: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMItKJ_SNf8
Apanhadr Só - one of my fav Brazilian bands https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_n6vPMYHeBVV_4UoKgeBZFHBP3dEG43Oj4
As Gideon Weeps, Palindrome - very few albums ive listened to as much as this one. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_le3v_xrZIemWaMac4Jtj20eyTfXC_BHoY
Show me the body - great punk band https://youtu.be/GoEQKB7kuDU
Yowie - probably my fav metal album https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_m1UPsFRYVE5hH4rVnQjjLN8IywWRRT4ng
Glass Beach - good vibes https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nWKZYVJcv6s476di0Z5jpwsOrtGFlowEI
Young Spirit - Cree native american group https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_meE1tmhdHn7MJqv0IBmiAdF3_obTY7f9o
Richard Dawson, 2020 - imo one the most interesting songwriters atm, great melodies interesting topics https://youtu.be/NkSvn23fbAg
