Help me out of my musical rut!

I'm open to all genres but everything i'm listening to is old stuff. I love Kacey Musgraves, some rock music (Lenny Kravitz's 5 album and Kaiser Chiefs Employment / Off With Their Heads, some Kasabian songs), Haim and Lady Antebellum. I like more mellow music. Used to find new stuff on Radio 6 with Radcliffe and Maconie's show but never get a chance to listen to them with the new schedule!
What is new that I might like? please recommend :smile:

There's plenty of old stuff that you've probably not listened to. A handful of albums off the top of my head:

In the Court of the Crimson King (King Crimson)

A Passion Play (Jethro Tull)

Computerwelt (Kraftwerk)

The Myths and Legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table (Rick Wakeman)

Broken China (Rick Wright)

The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking (Roger Waters)

Eliminator (ZZ Top)

But I'm guessing they're probably very much older than you're used to.

I might have some serious suggestions in a bit, but I'm in my giddy phase.

Oh, in fact, I do: get hold of some Ella Fitzgerald stuff.

Haha, I'm not above having 90s pop days meself, so I understand the draw of the Eurovision! How mellow is mellow? There's a guy called the White Buffalo who is very good. Maybe a bit of Glen Campbell? Sam Lewis is really good, kinda laid back country ish stuff:

I would recommend Alt- J, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds and Interpol. I reckon there might be some Muse songs that you would also like
With regards to 80s I would recommend The Smiths and New Order

Here are my suggestions-
Vampire Weekend: Harmony Hall (Their new album comes out soon)- Based on HAIM- One of the singers from HAIM will actually feature on their album
Maggie Rogers: Heard it in a past life - Based on HAIM and Kasey Musgraves
Billie Marten: Writing's of blue and yellow (not that new but really relaxing)- based on Kasey Musgraves
Ward Thomas: Cartwheels (This is there first album but their new album "Restless minds" is also very good)- based on Kasey Musgraves
You should also check out Kevin Garrett and Hozier
AND MOST IMPORTANTLY!!!- Everything by AURORA (she also has a new album on June 7th)- Based on All
