Wasn't probably going to bother with the Toro Y Moi -- failed to get into their music, probably a genre problem for me, although they're pretty solid live -- or the Deafheaven. Heard one track of the latter and figured it's all probably going to sound like that. Still on the fence there so I included it in the to-listen section.

I couldn't figure out what could possibly separate Mikal Cronin from everything else that is described exactly the same way but I'll give it a shot at some point. Destroyer has too many albums and I have no clue where to start so I probably wasn't going to start now.

My list will just go straight to hubski, I don't have a website of any kind.

If you're not a fan of chillwave then you might not like the Toro album. It's a lot different than his previous albums but it still retains some a lot of the song structures and timbres. Deafheaven is one that I really appreciated because I listen to a decent amount of black metal and was already of the band.

If you want to get into Destroyer I would recommend starting with Kaputt, it's probably his most accessible album. He is one of my favorite musicians. As for Mikal Cronin, there's an earnestness to his music and I like it a lot for some reason.

Give me a shoutout when you post yours, I'd rather not miss it.
