I have been getting disillusioned with mainstream music too. I usually follow https://albumoftheyear.org for new releases but pop music does not appear cool to me so I don’t like whatever is being signal boosted there and the reviews are very weird.

I found this album on bandcamp: https://projectlazarus.space/album/cccp-001

It’s sovietwave (like Interstellar OST but if Zimmerman was cool and a comrade) and seems to be produced by a comrade. You can download the album without paying anything if you like so that is cool too.
