Animals as Leaders, mostly. It's good focused-work music.
One song that sticks out as my favorite is The Brain Dance, and especially the bit that starts after ~1:53 is fantastic.
It's absolutely incredible to watch them play!
Haken, specifically their EP Restoration. Earthlings is one of the most beautiful and powerful songs I've heard in a long time. The melody at the beginning and the heavy riff at the end are amazing. The EP also has a guest appearance from Mike Portnoy in the form of a gong hit at the end of the EP I believe.
I've been listening to a lot of Filk (space folk) this week. I've listened to a few songs individually in the past but this week the first time i've listened to more than one or two songs at a time. It's great.
This Channel has a bunch and this is a great album playlist
After listening to Run River North's session on Audiotree Live the other day, I've been listening to them a lot over the last couple of days, really enjoying their music and their evolution from a folk band into more dance-y indie rock.
Other than that, Yung Bae - Bae 5 is still getting a lot of plays, and I found out that _ensnare_ released a short chiptune album a few months ago that I missed.
I recently found Young Orange on spotify. He's relatively unknown and pretty good if you enjoy the pop style hip hop genre.
The last Current 93, I missed some of the previous albums but this one seems like a good one.
This one is fantastic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkvTZPBmp_8
Been listening to Spotify Playlist called Jazz & Joint (Smoking Bebop). Absolutely sublime as I'm currently in Eastern Europe with gray skies and intermittent thunderstorms so Jazz is really hitting the spot.
I'm listening to Mozart's first Violin Sonata (K. 6) to try and write about it for my ongoing "Mozart Monday" series.

I came across this band who made an appearance in the show Legion on FX. It's trippy and not my usual genre of music but fit the show really well and made me listen to the album multiple times on Spotify.
Something for your M.I.N.D. by Superorganism
whole bunch of stuff, tbh. here's a small round up:
I finished Stranger Things recently, so I've been listening to a lot of instrumental synthwave and vaporwave at work. It is surprisingly nice to work to.
Resonance - Home is a particularly nice track.
Tool. Hyping myself up for the new album!
