I often listen to "San Francisco Days" album by Isaak. It creates a certain mood. (And Isaak really puts on a fun live show; his band has been with him forever and they do seem to really enjoy playing)Originally Posted by Mycenius

Riverside, a Polish progressive rock band. Sadly the original lead guitarist who was obviously a Dave Gilmour fan died a couple of years ago.

Most of the bands I find that I haven't previously heard of come from Radio Paradise, War on Drugs being one of them. I can go for hours on Radio Paradise without hearing a band I recognise sometimes. Originally Posted by d6jg

Discovered this on NPR a few years back. It was released in 2010 and I think it's their only full album. There is an EP, but most of the songs are on this album. It has a flapper / burlesque kind of sound, but I'd put it under Pop/Rock. All songs were written by April Smith and boy howdy, can she sing! If not 5 stars it comes awfully close.
April Smith and the Great Picture Show - Songs for a Sinking ShipMain system - Rock Solid with LMS 8.1.2 on WHS 2011 - 2 Duets and Squeeseslave
Cabin system - Rock solid with LMS 8.1.2 on Win10 Pro - 1 RPi 3 Model B/Hifiberry DAC+ Pro/PiCorePlayer and Squeezeslave
Squeezebox Boom - "At Large" player around both home and cabin
Headphones and car - Android phone/Bluetooth w/full library on MicroSD card - PowerAmp music player app (similar to Material Skin)

I can second GoGo Penguin and Riverside being mentioned here. Have seen both two times now and would always go again.
It's hard to limit myself to only three artists. But if I'd have to these would be my favorites (I'm also mentioning country, main instruments, genre)
Michael Wollny (de, p, jazz)
Nils Frahm (de, p/kb, electronica/ambient)
Anna Ternheim (se, voc/gt, singer-songwriter)
Here are some more that would also nicely fit (in alphabetical order):
Ólafur Arnalds (is, p/var., classical/electronica/ambient)
Courtney Barnett (au, voc/gt, indie-rock)
Ane Brun (no, voc/gt, singer-songwriter)
Tina Dico (dk, voc/gt, singer-songwriter)
Mathias Eick (no, tr/var., jazz)
Ben Howard (uk, voc/gt, singer-songwriter)
London Grammer (uk, voc/var., indie-pop)
Ibrahim Maalouf (lb/fr, tr, jazz)
Agnes Obel (dk, voc, singer-songwriter)
Martin Tingvall (se, p, jazz)
Nils Wülker (de, tr, jazz)
