Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavillion (Psychedelic folk/pop)

Clipping - CLPPNG (Alternative hip hop)

Daniel Johnston - Hi, How Are You? (Lofi pop/indie)

Charles Mingus - The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady (Jazz)

Miles Davis - Bitches Brew (Jazz)

Meshuggah - Catch 33 (Djent/Prog Metal/Extreme Metal)

John Frusciante - Niandra LaDes and Usually Just a T-Shirt (Experimental folk)

Black Country New Road - For the First Time (Prog rock/Post rock/sort of "Jazz" IDK)

Hope you find something you like!

Heh, not to disappoint you, but that's some of Swans' newest music. Their discography goes back to '83. Killing for Company off of The Great Annihilator (1995) is my favorite song of theirs. Then again, I haven't listened to To Be Kind & Glowing Man, so I'll have to check those out.

To get this one out of the way, The Caretaker - Everywhere At The End Of Time.

My personal recommendation would be Kayo Dot. Here's their album Dowsing Anemone With Copper Tongue.

Black Midi is pretty experimental.

I was wondering what experimental meant so looked up Swans. The only band i know of thats super weird is called Clowncore, i dont listen to them but maybe someone likes it

The Caretaker's An Empty Bliss Beyond This World (2011)

I'll be honest, I don't really know what counts as "experimental," but I've been really liking music in this genre that I guess is called "Baroque Metal" or something like that. Igorrr and Keygen Church have been a couple favorites.

More on the jazzy side, I listened to Sungazer's album Perihelion on repeat for like two straight weeks, it's really good

Captain Beefheart - Trout Mask Replica

The Caretaker - Everywhere At The End Of Time

Flux Of Pink Indians - The Fucking Cunts TreatUs Like Pricks

Crass - Yes Sir, I Will

Velvet Underground - White Light/ White Heat

Black Midi - Cavalcade

Earth - Earth 2

Swans - Soundtrack For The Blind

Godspeed! You Black Emporer - Raise Your Skinny Fists

Sunn O)) - Pyroclasts

Probably not to your taste, but Veilburner makes some really unique and good Death/Black Metal

Probably not as experimental as some others here, but Flume - Hi This is Flume (especially with the visualizer on YouTube)

maudlin of the Well and Kayo Dot! My two favorite bands. Both avant-garde metal bands led by Toby Driver. motW's Bath / Leaving Your Body Map are sister albums and an amazing listen back to back, start to finish. Kayo Dot's Choirs of the Eye is one of the best albums of all time, another amazing full listen.

How experimental do you want? Einstuerzende Neubauten made some interesting records in the eighties (and later as well). I enjoy Five on the open-ended Richter Scale.

All Bitches Die by Lingua Ignota is absolutely terrifying, in a good way (if you enjoy unhinged screaming and beautiful melody, and who doesn't?). It's not a crappy hip hop album, but deals with artist's experience of abuse and with revenge, hence the title.

Edit: Wait, you want brilliant experimental music? Check out Mr Bungle. The s/t is... funk hardcore metal, but good, I guess. The other albums, idk sinister lounge music perhaps?

The Red Crayola with The Familiar Ugly album, The Parable Of Arable Land is an amazing listen. It's psychedelic rock experimental style. Coil made the album Musick to Play in the Dark. It's an electronic, darkly ambient, spoken word piece of music. Colin Locker Kid made the album Empathica, and it's very hard to label. It has elements of hip-hop and spoken word, but it's an abstract, collage of an experimental album. No idea if any of them sound interesting? They were the first three to spring to mind.

I don’t know how experimental they were per se, solidly jazz fusion, but anything by the Mahavishnu Orchestra tends to be a journey.

I'm a massive Jim O'Rourke fan, and you can't really go wrong with any of his records. Super interesting and enigmatic guy. He really does his own thing. Would love to see him perform one day, but unfortunately he rarely leaves Japan these days. To Magnetize Money and Catch a Roving Eye is a mammoth of a record, definitely worth a listen.

Also, NTS sessions by Autechre. Just sublime.
