I'm the opposite. For many of my favorite musicians, I heard two, three, or more albums worth of material and thought they were alright but nothing special for several months, only later digging into their catalog after something clicked upon revisiting them. This happened with Tortoise, Oval, Joanna Newsom, Dirty Three, Talk Talk, Don Cherry, Low, Mark Kozelek's projects, Sun Ra, and most things. Recently, I've been obsessively listening to Spring Heel Jack's and Autechre's entire catalogs, both of whom I've been somewhat familiar with (Amassed and Disappeared, Tri Repetae and Confield and Chiastic Slide, and various remixes and collabs they've done) for at least three years.

I got onto a Serialism kick about a week ago that I've had a hard time shaking, I've been listening to more Lowercase than I have in close to four years. Oh, and black metal. So, specifics would be Alban Berg, Jurg Frey, and Sarcofago.

Moved on from AC Newman/New Pornographers and am currently consumed by Annie Clark/St. Vincent.

Funny you should mention this band. I thought of them too. I got into TFF in February. That's not very recent, but it was 2014 and less than a year ago. That's recent in my book. Their first two albums are awesome.

getting randomly as always, a lot to explore still, but these days I've been into ambient, and folk (principally at home and in the back seat when coming home at car).

I've been really getting into the first two Magnetic Fields albums lately, the only two that feature vocals from Susan Anway. They're so quaint yet so emotionally resonant and occasionally surreal. The songs are extremely catchy and well-constructed too. Two perfect pop albums in my opinion.

Cocteau Twins. Probably my favorite UK band now.

Matanza. They're a Johnny Cash influenced punk/metal group I discovered a few months ago. I saw them live in October and I'm going to see them again in a couple weeks. Quite unlike anything I've heard before and they have very quickly become one of my favourite active artists on the planet.

Ys by Joanna Newsom

And I absolutely love it.

I should probably go put it in my top 10

Recently "rediscovered" a band called All About Eve (kinda folk-rock / gothic rock) - knew them when I was younger but wasn't a fan. Have been listening to their debut album a lot over last few weeks, though...

Treefight For Sunlight - indie pop / sunshine pop...

This one has also recently become a fave for me (have had it for a while but used to only like one or two songs).

First of all, this album is a bitch to find. Yet, it's unquestionably one of the most amazing albums I've ever heard. Amazing from beginning to end, and so beautiful.

I've been obsessing over the recent releases from Gajek (kind of classicalrepetitive minimalism but with contemporary electronic production/emphasis on percussion), and Black To Comm (ambient not ambient). And the thread on here about 2014 lists had me look into their review of Jar Moff - Financial Glam and it referenced this album

L'ivresse De La Vitesse by Paul Dolden

AND ITS INCREDIBLE YOU GUYS. Like modern classical but just crazy dense and busy and electroacoustic and I'm already falling in love.

A new favorite band of mine would be Disco Digitale.
