Two examples that come to me immediately are Enya and Smashing Pumpkins. If music starts feeling stale, I can put on Enya and music feels new again. It's such a pleasant departure from the standard pop/rock/RnB etc sounds that dominate (even if I like those artists).

Anybody have their own equivalents?

Louis Cole / Knower

I'm listening to Louis Cole and Genevieve Artadi by Knower. Good suggestion, thanks.

Louis and Genevieve are the two permanent members of Knower, but they also do a bunch of side projects as well. About a year ago Louis put out some huge orchestral works and live performances and then had some health issues and kinda disappeared. Hope he’s doing alright!

Lemmy put me on to Knower. Check out “Do Hot Girls Like Chords” for the song that started it all!

This really suits my tastes, thank you so much. Edgy and vibrant but cosy in a way too.

That’s Where You Are also sounds lush and has breathing room between them. It’s soft and gentle yet subtly energising.

I realise describing music is a particular skill, but that’s my best attempt and thank you again. Funnily, I think I can remove some artists I’ve come across in the last year or two because Knower tops them all.
