Box Fort by Friendly Spectres. Local (to me) synth punk artist and a long time friend made a genuinely very good EP last year that I listen to a bunch. On all streaming services.
I love your posts and the podcasts I've heard you on and I really do suspect you have great taste but the inclusion of I've had some help on this makes me suspicious you're doing an elaborate prank on me
Thanks, now I have a few days of music to check out.
I think they’re famous in their niche, but I saw them live last year and the crowd was about the same when I saw Alice In Chains before Dirt came out: https://youtu.be/EDnIEWyVIlE?si=eK0G5yIUJgaol5Ze

Anything by Polly Money
Not A Love Song by Pale Waves
You’re telling me! My family and I flew from AZ to see him open the tour in Brooklyn and he rapped his ass off for like 4 hours, no backing tracks. My son (hs junior) wasn’t feeling hip-hop before the show- now he does.
Also all the music released last year by:
Mannequin Pussy (punk girl singer)
Fontaines DC (Dublin post-punk)
Arab Strap (heavy accent Glasgow spoken word)
Bicep (satisfying electronic)
Gurriers (Dublin noise rock)
Sprints (girl Dublin noise rock)
Hermanos Guitierrez (Latin chill instrumental)

As far as I can tell, it’s a Korean song about birds and maybe soup? But it’s a vibe.
And if you're really in the mood for some retro vapor, "Towards Love" by Sleepless-Nights.
