A Grumpy Old Man in Search of New Music

The Mars Volta (TMV) are very different from album to album because the sidemen have often changed per studio album. The one I linked is their first album after At the Drive-In split and is a phenomenal concept album about the protagonist exploring their deep subconscious, suicide, trains, submarines, a giant beetle-harpy, and tarsiers. Two of their other albums most varied to De-loused are "The Bedlam In Goliath" and "Noctourniquet"—both magnificent creatures!

Brad Mehldau's "Largo" and Aaron Parks' "Invisible Cinema" are two really good-sounding modern jazz combo bands.

Porcupine Tree is pretty good. I listened to the first album and then bits and pieces of other albums. Great guitar work and some interesting song writing. I picked up on a Beatles vibe for a lot of songs, which is not a bad thing. His lyrics lost me on a few, but overall great suggestion. Thanks for recommending.
