Haven't been posting on here for a while because I've been busy getting involved in my local community stuff instead. Joining community orgs, writing/speaking to city council, meeting cool peeps, etc. Highly recommend it for anyone who feels like they have to engage in politics; the local level is where you can actually get heard and make a tangible difference.
I am back here though because the local urbanist discord I'm in has a bunch of Hexbear emojis in it and I want to give the culprit a big HELL YEAH!
Gonna second the calls for Haken. Pareidoilia or Veil would be great tracks to start with.
King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard's PetroDragonic Apocalypse; or, Dawn of Eternal Night: An Annihilation of Planet Earth and the Beginning of Merciless Damnation was a great release this year as well.
I'll also recommend The Ocean, who have a fun naming convention for their albums. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPMrwSwl8is
