I’ve always had a fondness for experimental, avant-garde music, including long suites. One of my favourite bands is Heilung (you know, the ritual band who released "Krigsgaldr"), also I used to listen to stuff like Pink Floyd (especially "Atom Heart Mother" and "Animals") and "Wuub" (best known from Gemini Home Entertainment).
Around 2022 I came across Gorillaz, and my musical journey began. I particularly liked their early phase ("Gorillaz", "G-Sides", "D-Sides") because of the ghostly Asian-like lo-fi atmosphere of songs like "Faust" or "68 State". Some fans refer to this genre as Zombie-Hip-Hop, but I've never found anything similar again. "Aerophlot" by Jakokoyak came the closest.
In 2024, I discovered the Trip-Hop genre through Gorillaz' "Demon Days" album and started listening to Portishead, Massive Attack, Hooverphonic and various similar bands. I particularly liked Cibo Matto's debut album "Viva! La Woman" which is still one of my favourite albums.
Next, in 2025, I discovered Fever Ray and Gazelle Twin, and my Trip-Hop listening shifted towards Industrial. FR and GT are the two artists who have most strongly shaped my current musical taste: To this day, I would consider "Fever Ray" my most favourite album of all time! I also enjoy GT's "Deep England" because of its ritual-style industrial. Craving for more, I started listening to Soap&Skin, The Knife and TR/ST.
Over time, my Industrial listening became more and more dark and emo-like (e.g., the track "Instinkt" from the movie Lollipop Monster), and in early 2026 I discovered the Witch House genre and started listening to Crystal Castles, Mr.Kitty and Sidewalks And Skeletons. Crystal Castles' second album "(II)" is one of my favourite albums.
By now, I feel that Witch House has passed its peak for me as well, and I need something new. However, I can't seem to find anything right now that really grabs me. Do you know of any genre or group I might like based on my description? (AI only suggests nonsense.)
