...and actually found decent new music, in spite of how clunky browsing is? I have a couple of recommendations, would be keen to hear more

Pacific Theater - http://pacifictheater.bandcamp.com/album/warm-light
Moody, Brooklyn-based New-Rave inspired Rock. Inventive songwriting, reminiscent of The National

Sun Glitters - http://sunglitters.bandcamp.com/
Sunny bedroom-pop, but with much more imagination than standard chillwave bandwaggoners. Almost Ambient Pop.

Cinématique - http://cinematique.bandcamp.com/
Slow-burning post rock/ambient. Very "cinematic", album has great rhythmic flow
