I just started listening to "From The Wreckage" by The Wind & The Wave.
Great country-rock.  I saw them a couple of years ago when they toured with Stereophonics, just as TW&TW were transitioning from indie to a major label.  We met them after the show, they were working their merch booth.  Really nice, and we left with a handful of CDs to give to friends.
I had totally forgotten about them until this last week, when they suddenly appeared on my playlist.
 
Has anyone else had any new music discoveries to share?

The last one I had was Alabama Shakes. Pleasant surprise the first time I saw them 

I hear new music every time I pick up a guitar.
 
I'm pretty sure no one else wants to hear it either.
 
That's why I play bazz.

My life has very little time to actually listen to much music besides what I'm making. I do listen on the Songs Forum here so that is kind of "new discoveries", ya?
 
My drive to work is 5.5 miles, barely enough time to catch a new song.

Since I can't actually play and create new music right now, just about all I've been doing is finding new music.  Those "Best of 2016" lists were a great jumping off point to all sorts of bands I hadn't heard of or didn't know they had new stuff out.

I have found a lot more new music in the last few years, but lets just talk about a few bands I have found in 2016.
 
The Mouletts - They were completly unknown to me until a freind recommended a free concert they gave locally. Quite bonkers really, progressive but not necessarly prog with unusual instrumentation including prominant basson and electric cello. Preternatural was one of my top albums of 2016. Bass player Jim Mortimore's dad was in Gentle Giant and that influence shows!
 
Cairo - Not entirly "new" as I knew Rob Cottingham's work with Touchstone. "Say" was an excellent first album and I and looking forward to the second they are recording at the moment.
 
Ghost Community - I knew bass player Matt Cohen's work in The Reasoning so I was drawn to check out his new band. Another solid first album on the heavier, rockier side of Prog.
 
The Anchoress - A interesting project by Cathrine Ann Davis, its more "poppy" than the stuff I would normally go for but still intresting and unusual. Shades of Kate Bush for sure.
 
Dave Foster Band - Streaching the new thing here because Dave Foster is lead guitarist in one of my favourite bands, Panic Room. I first encountered his solo work at the Panic Room Weekend last May and bought a couple of albums.
 
Certainly not new but a rediscovery for me in 2016 were Marillion I had not paid them much attention and only really knew the 1980's stuff but the last album F.E.A.R. along side BBT's Folklore as my faavourite album of 2016.
 
 
 

One of my favourite 'discoveries' from the last couple of years is Bros. Landreth. I'm not a huge country fan but I like it when it leans more towards 'Americana' and these guys are just brilliant at that.

Be thankful. My commute is an hour each way on a subway train. Underground with no cell signal, so I can't use things like Spotify or radio to surprise me...

Couldn't help but be reminded of this old classic.  Sharke should love this!

I recently discovered the 'Dark Ambient' genre.  I was actually looking online for suggestions of music to play in the background to Prison Architect.  Really evocative stuff, think longships drifting through mist or spooky crypts.  e.g. Atrium Carceri, Nox Arcana, Wardruna.
