Magdalena Bay has dominated my listening habits this year, so I cannot not recommend Imaginal Disk (2024) by Magdalena Bay. I've also gotten back into recently David Bowie (particularly Station To Station (1976)). If you want a lesser known pick, I like to recommend people a Turkish band from the early 2000s called Laço Tayfa, which blends jazz, funk and Turkish traditional music (their album Hicaz Dolap (2001) is great).

Other artists include: The Mars Volta, Yes (mostly pre-90125 (1983)), Genesis (mostly pre-Abacab (1981)), Devin Townsend (incl. Devin Townsend Project), Danny Brown, Return To Forever, King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, Rita Payés, Björk, Bent Knee, King Crimson (can you tell I like prog), Foxygen (some of their albums are amazing, some are very mediocre)…

The Cure, David Bowie, Leonard Cohen, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Talking Heads, and Evanescence are constantly making their way onto my playlists.

I am of the belief that Disintegration is the greatest album ever made.

I'll have to check out the album, but I generally like everyone you mentioned!

Radio by Bershy, kissing someone else by Caroline Kingsbury, Homeless in Heathrow by Fartbarf, feel the way I do by primer, 6am by channel tres, seasons (waiting on you) (badbadnotgood remix) by future islands, capsize by big black delta, little light by deep dreem, shoulder by unicornicopia.
