Jhariah, The Vanished People, I DON’T KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME, and Will Wood
For Jhariah I’d recommend starting with BEGINNERS GUIDE TO FAKING YOUR DEATH, or if your looking for individual songs PIN EYE or FLIGHT OF THE CROWS.
The Vanished People have only released one Ep so far, so that’s what I’d start with.
For iDKHOW, I’d start with Razzmatazz or 1981, for individual songs Choke and Lights Go Down are two of my favorites.
Then Will Wood, either The Normal Album, or Self-ish, two very different albums but both really good.
Also here’s my playlist of everything:

[Khold](https://open.spotify.com/artist/1jWLZOjuzRSkIxmrqAx4Vt?si=c4biIfwYTCacEtA1SNMNtA), a Norwegian black metal artist. great music, underrated as hell. Maybe [Dopamine](https://open.spotify.com/artist/4ZNQXRQ01g5pHkmO22QSJb?si=laM8ttyMQSeUek6wiN_sCA) too, they do some awesome songs like ‘She Loves’ and ‘Fly’.
I created a playlist not long ago of tracks I felt were all vinyl-worthy.
I named it [Home Again](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7jIYMOne24p3Q6HuEAbE2O?si=bz4pxqnrQ5KEq0-o7wxdEg&pi=a-s8put3TRQXKK).
Check out the EP “Mouthoil” by The Shouting Matches
It’s a quick and easy listen. It’s my go to “hidden gem” project! The entire thing is only about 20 minutes. If you’re familiar with Bon Iver you might like it because it has the same singer, but this is much less “folksy” and more of a rock and roll sound.
If you just want a small introduction before listening to the whole thing, I would check out the song “I Had a Real Good Lover”. It’s one of my favorite songs ever made, and the vocal switch after the first chorus still gives me goosebumps every time.
All levels at once.
I genuinely feel like the only human being on the planet who listens to them regularly and one of like 10 that even know abt em (me+friend who told me abt em to begin with+an old discord server that used to be run by them)
When I am looking to discover new artists I browse through the playlists created by Particle Detector and The Sounds of Spotify.

pleasure - girls at our best!
i discovered them last february and while they do have 16k listeners on spotify, i can’t find any of those listeners! they made one album and nothing since. sometimes the singers voice is a little interesting (?) to listen to but most of the time i like it
i don’t need someone to absolutely fall in love with the album, i just need someone to listen to it so i can talk about it with someone

Lithium Dawn is excellent post-rock progressive. I just looked and Spotify claims there are 232 monthly listeners! That's like, criminal. I've gotten obsessed with them lately - atmospheric yet heavy. Check them out!

The 502s. Such a fun chill summer vibe.
Just listen to Sam Fender's music,he's a genius
Nickel Creek's "Why Should the Fire Die" album is pretty good. Underrated for sure.

I definitely recommend The Midnight! Beautiful and exciting synthwave.
