I thought about putting them on my list, but I haven't been interested in their last few albums (Bottomless Pit aside), plus their whole "tour's on, tour's off, we broke up, we reformed" bullshit was/is irritating.

Oh and I forgot about Covet

Adding my name to the long list of people mentioning Pile. Destroyer probably has my favorite body of 2000s-and-on work, but started in the 90s so not sure whether or not it's in the spirit of this thread. Big ones for me are:

Cindy Lee
Nicolas Jaar
Laurel Halo
Tim Hecker
Frank Ocean
Grouper
Croatian Amor
Spirit of the Beehive
Oneohtrix Point Never
Dirty Beaches/Alex Zhang Hungtai
Jessy Lanza

goes on and on

Probably Oneida

Based on the rest of their output, I don't rate them here, but Henge Beat? Easily a top-5-record-of-the-21st-century-so-far.

Yes. Cindy Lee.

I've been listening to a duo out of Poland called Nac/Hut Report. Their latest, Dom 1919, gives me the same melancholy, but otherworldly vibe as Cindy Lee. It's great.

Typical System is good. Laughing at the System not so much. Their singles SLAY. You can pay for a DL of all of their singles on their bandcamp page, and I highly recommend you do.

One of the last bands I saw before the pandemic hit. They were great.
