Still on radar
Peak was 18+ months ago; last year is under half the year before and under 35% of lifetime — not a new artist.

Worth trying

Powered by Claude

Forward discovery based on your library — not faded favorites, but things you might actually like and haven't really dug into.

Claude's read

This listener orbits around anthemic indie/alt-rock with emotional heft—The Killers' stadium sweep, The Boxer Rebellion's brooding build, Bear's Den's folk-rock ache. There's a strong appetite for post-rock atmosphere (Explosions in the Sky, Mogwai) and a throughline of earnest, crescendo-loving bands where guitars ring out and choruses soar. Recent activity shows openness to newer guitar-driven acts (Racing Glaciers, Gang of Youths, Nothing But Thieves) and a willingness to explore instrumental prog (Polyphia) alongside the core diet of heartland rock.

LP
Ambulance Ltd
Not in library · like The Boxer Rebellion, Editors, Death Cab for Cutie

The Slow Show
Not in library · like Editors, Bear's Den, The Boxer Rebellion

Expansive, aching indie rock that lives between Editors' brooding and Bear's Den's folk-tinged catharsis.

King of Conflict
The Virginmarys
Not in library · like Nothing More, Kings of Leon, Nothing But Thieves

Raw, riff-heavy rock energy that bridges Nothing More's intensity and Kings of Leon's ragged soul.

Frames
Oceansize
1 play on record · like Mew, Explosions in the Sky, Mogwai

Progressive, textural rock that sits between Mew's orchestral ambition and Explosions in the Sky's cinematic sprawl.

The Remote Part
Idlewild
Not in library · like Bloc Party, Muse, Travis

Scottish indie rock with the melodic crunch of Bloc Party and the urgency of early Muse.
