Dear fellow Tooters, it's #FirstFridayMusic but I don't have new-to-me music this month. So I though I'd look into my collection and pull out a couple of artists whose works I have heartily enjoyed.
If you're into synthwave, you should checkout The Midnight. I have "Heroes" on preorder:

But I greatly enjoy "Kids" and "Monsters", which you could get today:
Next pick is Unleash the Archers. I'm a temperamental fan of metal. I can enjoy specific tracks from artists, but not handle their other work or entire albums. However, so far I haven't found a track from Unleash the Archers I don't like. They have two concept albums "Apex" and "Abyss" where they explore a story. Try the first track on Apex (listen until at least 1:30), if you like that one, there's a good chance you'll like the rest.
Brittney Slayes (the lead singer of Unleash the Archers) has a couple videos explaining the story:
Bonus pick I happened to spot scrolling by the sales feed while I was on bandcamp's home page. I clicked because I recognized the image of Falkor. Who doesn't like Falkor? Anyway, the track reminds me a bit of stuff from Astral Projection.

(I admit I'm sharing mostly because of Falkor.)
BTW #BandcampFriday returns Sept. 2nd.
