Bandcamp is great for following record labels that you like, as labels will tend to put their entire catalog up, making it easy to explore. might i suggest Unseen Worlds? they have a wide variety of weird, interesting stuff, mostly instrumental.

thanks to Stereogum for helping keep me sane this year and thanks to RJ's weekend playlist for helping me know what week it is in a year when it was remarkably easy to lose track of time. here are all the songs i added this year, you can think of it as a "songs of the year" but includes a bunch of stuff not from this year so it really encapsulates the fuller picture of what all i was listening to over the course of the year:
