I have no problem with modern artists playing within older styles, so long as they have their own sound and are inspired. It's unreasonable to expect endless innovation. Every time an album is released, it inherently becomes more difficult to create music that is significantly different than everything that came before.

That being said, here are a few fairly original modern artists, in my view.

After Crying, Echolyn, Mike Keneally, Isildurs Bane, Frost*, Ciccada, Gösta Berlings Saga

Here's a cross section of my favorites since 2000


Poil - Brossaklit
Squintaloo - Uber Bord
Exivious - s/t
Mimedyr - Minym
Nebelnest - Nova Express


Here's some clips.









Thanks for the recs man. As a side note, though, what would you list if you were given the option of 1989 onwards?

Hey! Thanks for the recs! Those influences sound pretty interesting, so I hope I get to listen to these soon!

I agree, Shiny Eyed Babies and Say So are my favorites and they've drifted further away over the following albums. When I saw them the first time promoting SEB they were raw and energetic.

Shiny Eyed Babies was a masterpiece. But with each album they have managed to get further away from music I enjoy. The last album I didn't like at all, so I have few expectations for this one. Even the way they live perform tracks from SEB has changed. When I saw them that insane, raw breakdown on Way Too Long was completely watered down.

I've actually been considering checking out Bent Knee, starting with "Shiny Eyes Babies." Cool that you mentioned 'em is all I mean really.

Listening to "Book M" by Secret Chiefs 3. I likely didn't listen to the thing before, at least not entirely. I'm enjoying it quite a bit. To my surprise, Trey Spuance actually converted to Eastern Orthodoxy, something I wouldn't have guessed from listening to this stuff. I am happy that God has given him the grace of conversion, to say the least (although I myself am a Roman Catholic).

At any rate, what are you guys listening to right now?

Listening to Marco Minnemann's "My Sister." Pretty fun stuff. And varied too. I'm enjoying it quite a lot.

E.g. Did you like Nil? Did you like Bent Knee? or do you have an aversion to female vocals? Did you like Native Construct or Thank You Scientist? or do you not like machine-gun-like metal with a pop sensibility? Did you like Sonar, black midi, or Sleepytime Gorilla? or is it another type of Math Rock that you're looking for? etc. 

A little help would be nice.


Sorry for not being clear on my preference. The goal of this thread is really not so much to cater to it (that is my preference) but to curate a list of bands people would recommend as innovative to add to my "to listen" list. I appreciate your consideration though, and having said that, I would say I enjoyed black midi, Nil, maudlin of the Well, Mercury Tree's Spidermilk, Motorpsycho's Death Defying Unicorn, Maygar Posse (iirc I did enjoy them), and Battles' Mirrored. Have yet to get to the other recommendations, so I can't really comment on those either.
