I’m glad I paused and looked back up the thread, because I already posted about a year ago.
So, restricting myself to the OP’s criteria and limiting my choices to new musical artists I’ve found in the last year(both are singer-songwriters):

Khruangbin
Starcrawler
Kasami Washington
Earlier this century (???) no idea who I was trying to refer to…
The Yoshida Brothers
Oresund Space Collective
Beats Antique
Anything with Punk Rock Percussionist Mike Dillon (Critters Buggin, Les Claypoool’s Fancy Band, Garage A Trois, Dead Kenny G’s, Hairy Apes BMX, Mike Dillon’s Go-Go Jungle
The Mike Dillon Band Of Outsiders
Airtist is a unique music project that creates the atmosphere of electronic dance music with ancient instruments and human voice. The didgeridoo, the Jew’s harp and the human beatbox together create an unmatchable sound-world that is so typical to Airtist.
The band don’t use any electronically produced sound. Only the natural vibration of their AIR- fueled instruments is what makes people dance. This music could have been played thousands of years ago the same way.
Szabolcs Gimesi: Jew’s harps
Markus Meurer: Didgeridoo
Döme: Beatbox
These days I typically listen to classical music with a sprinkling of pop and rock from the 60s – 70s. I consider music less than 20 years old “new.”
My youngest daughter tortures me with a genre of music I don’t know the name of but features singers who scream incoherent lyrics in a deep, throat-shredding, almost demonic manner. She explains that the vocalists have to do something with their vocal cords in order to get their voices into that inhuman range. She loves it and blasts my eardrums with it whenever I’m in her car. Lucky me.
But, she also introduced me to a band that’s been around a while that I like very much, named My Chemical Romance. Vocalist, Gerard Way, in particular, is quite talented and their songwriting is solid:
I also liked when my oldest daughter went through a Skrillex phase years ago. The genre is not normally my cup of tea, but I gotta admit, the beat of Skrillex’s music is addictive.
Shovels & Rope
John Moreland
SG Goodman
Jade Bird
The Record Company
… just off the top of my head.
Posting this ballad feels almost like cheating, because to me it sounds so Seventies.
However, Lana Del Rey released it in 2018.
And she released her first album on… wait for it… January 4, 2010.
(So take that, OP!!)
I just discovered these guys yesterday – they’re from Bristol and have been around for a few years, but I’ve been out of the loop for a bit. I’m going to have to explore them a little more. Great performance here:
Favorite lyric from the first song: “Me, oh me, oh my, Roy
You look like a walking thyroid
You’re not a man, you’re a gland”
and “He hates me. I LIKE that.”
Absolutely nutty looking bunch having fun.
I believe that Tiny Desk concert is how I learned of them.
I love their first album, Brutalism.
The first, and so far only, time I’ve been in a mosh pit was at a Monster Truck show, a month or two before my 60th birthday. They are a fantastic live act.
LOL, now that I have no kids in the house, I listen to my boring old standards, spa music, jazz, show tunes, big band, and oldies from every decade. I have no urge to ‘search out new musical artists.’ What I’ve heard has left me unimpressed. So, sue me.
Gen-X here. It’s hard to qualify which acts I “listen to” at a artist level that formed after 2010. A lot of it is various songs and tracks I hear randomly in a coffee shop or store or some show/movie I see on TV.
Is it throat singing?
Or metal?
(Ashnikko redoing her own pop song in a metal style)
(Also included because I forgot to include Ashnikko in the thread and I fucking love her)
The first time I heard of Monster Truck was when the internet was making fun of Kid “Truck Nuts Come to Life” Rock’s newest song featuring Monster Truck. That first impression has forever ruined any chance of me giving them another shot. BTW, I just learned that that song is originally from Monster Truck.
I am shocked that you would think such a thing. Look at the innocent dresses and toys on the porch. Surely not! 
Hehehe, my singer loves Idles. They’re pretty great.
One band I was reminded of when reading a Wet Leg interview recently was The Chats. Simple, actually kind of clever punk. Their masterpiece “SMOKO” was everywhere a while ago, so you’re probably heard it before. But it bears linking here.
And “AC/DC CD” probably wrote itself after they stung those six letters together, but it’s rockin’.
And I would be a jerkwad if I didn’t mention Clown Core - Van. I’ve listened to this album a LOT in the last year. It’s simultaneously amazing jazz, noise rock, metal, art rock and electronic music. If you like say, John Zorn, you need to hear this record. Appropriately recorded in a moving van (previous record recorded in a port-a-san), it’s 17 minutes of heaven if you’re into that sort of thing.
Oh, and it is terribly aggressive and a bit offensive. Though the naughty bits of the vid are blurred out, I still wouldn’t advise watching it on your work computer to avoid “those” conversations.
Nope, never heard of it or them, but thanks for the link. I’ll check them out. I am familiar with Clown Core’s port-a-potty oevre, though. Haven’t seen the van stuff yet.
Oh, if you’ve seen Toilet, you’re well prepared for what you’re getting into, there. But, I still think Van is better.
A few bands that are “new to me” since this thread’s first go-round:
Pomplamoose – a husband-and-wife duo, who also bring in a number of friends and session musicians for their recordings. An old friend of mine posted one of their songs on Facebook a few months ago, and I went down the rabbit hole. Pomplamoose made their name with songs posted on YouTube, and do a lot of fun cover songs. Nataly, the main vocalist, is probably kind of polarizing (she has a very breathy voice), but I particularly like their covers of French songs.
Lord Huron – I like to listen to SiriusXM’s “The Spectrum” channel, since they play a mix of newer and older artists, and I hear performers with whom I’m not familiar. They’ve been playing Lord Huron a lot lately; they have a cool, folk-rock sound.
Lake Street Dive – another group I first heard on The Spectrum. They have a cool, poppy sound, from the songs that I’ve heard.
I realize I’m going back to my roots, but the best new music I’ve listened to are Broadway showtunes. The Band’s Visit is a brilliant score (admittedly, I like songs in a minor key) and I just saw Come from Away last night. Robert Lopez has both The Book of Mormon and Avenue Q to his credit.
this is me because I didn’t listen to music on my own until about 87 …
