Here’s my 100 most listened to albums on last.fm for reference of what my taste is like, don’t let that stop you from recommending me things you think I won’t like though I’m trying to expand my horizons.
I also like listening to small artists, I write a series of artist features all about people less than a million Spotify listeners so if you have any recommendations for that lmk.

Phantomime - Mori Calliope
Our musical tastes seem almost perfectly aligned, so I’ll try and throw out a few curve balls:
- AJR - pretty corny, but fuck if almost every song ain’t a bop.
- The Districts - A Flourish and a Spoil
- Mansions - Dig Up the Dead
- Stop Light Observations - oRANGE.
- Disco Elysium Soundtrack has been my go to of late when I don’t want lyrics cluttering my head.
Deltron 3030.
Hes the rapper for the gorillaz but also has/had a solo career before/during/after the gorillaz as del the funkee homosapien.
The album is a sci-fi futurism concept hip hop album.
I love Gorillaz and have listened to Deltron 3030 plenty of times but never made the connection!
Ivan Torrent - Onyria
This guy makes amazing epic music. Can’t recommend him enough. All his other albums are great as well.
Suite for Ma Dukes by Miguel Atwood Ferguson. Live recording of a Dilla tribute concert with a 60 piece orchestra. Stakes Is High with Posdnuos and Talib Kweli is a standout. Album is on Bandcamp and the full concert video is on YouTube.
In the World: From Natchez to New York by Olu Dara. He’s the father of Nas (who guests on the album) and an accomplished jazz musician in his own right, but this isn’t a jazz album. Okra is in my top three songs about food.
Fela Soul by Amerigo Gazaway. A mashup of De La Soul and Fela Kuti. “Music is the weapon. Music is the future. Music is the weapon of the future.”
Clube da Esquina 2
Mechanical Keyboard Sounds: Recordings of Bespoke and Customized Mechanical Keyboards
Edit: This is less music, and more relaxation sounds. But I really like it.
Aesop rock - Skelethon
The drums are just 🤱
Hell of a good album. Cycles to Gehenna slaps, fryerstarter is a little surreal. A good chunk of his albums have an instrumental version too.
A Tribe Called Quest - Beats, Rhymes, & Life
Here’s something unique. The album “Acheron” by Mechina.
I don’t think it’s in your regular taste. But it’s unique enough to be a suggestion.
After going through your list a second time, I don’t see gorillaz newest album Cracker Island on it. I never thought the gorillaz would ever get close to their demon days height but I love their new album almost as much (its close, but you can’t outshine the sun)
Watch !sessionjams@sh.itjust.works you never know what might get posted.
CunninLynguists - Will Rap for Food
Nappy Roots - Watermelon, Chicken & Gritz
Deltron Zero - Deltron 3030
Jurassic 5 - self titled album
Lupe Fiasco Food & Liquor
Deltron Zero - Deltron 3030

Glad to see plenty of gorillaz in there!
Actually a lot of yours align with mine such as Tame Impala and King Gizzard. I’m gonna check out some of the others you have.
I don’t really listen to specific albums, just certain artists and playlists.
I will throw in Franz Ferdinand - Hits to the head album though
You check out Tame Impala’s live rendition of innerspeaker yet?
Better then the studio album by far, and the visuals are tight. The session starts at dusk and it slowly turns night as the album progresses.
I had not. Thanks for sharing
