In a musical quagmire

Recently I've become acutely aware that I'm returning to the same old albums over and over again instead of looking for new music, which concerns me as sooner or later I'm going to become very bored. To find new music, I either used to use the genre tags on here or type a genre into Bandcamp and check that out - that was great a year back, when it was 95% likely to be some subgenre of metal. However, my tastes have expanded, and I don't know whether I want to search metal, minimalist, techno, jazz, hardcore, post punk... and then I get overwhelmed and just stick The Smith Street Band on again (which is awesome, but I could do with a change). Basically, what do you guys recommend I listen to (I'm honestly open to anything) - and, if anyone's been in this situation before or similar, some guidance as to what to do about it would be greatly appreciated. List is pretty much all the things I've dug in 3 whole months, all but 2 not from 2015.
1Izah
Sistere


Post-metal done right
2The Smith Street Band
Throw Me in the River


The offending repeater. Absolutely adore the album, but when I'm listening to it at least once every day for 2 months I know sooner or later I'm gonna hate it, and that'll be a big shame.
3The Cure
Disintegration


Another repeat offender, see above.
4Roanoke
Vast Knowledge Of Things That Don't Matter


Probably the last album I'm proud to say I found on my lonesome. Screamo with really good vocals and guitars, shame it's so short.
5Lost Salt Blood Purges
The Voids We All Long For


Atmospheric and glorious.
6Misthyrming
Söngvar Elds Og óreiðu


Can't get enough of this some days.
7Jamiroquai
A Funk Odyssey


Don't judge.
8Inside the Beehive
Drink Bleach; Live Forever


Heavy-as-fuck chaotic grindcore that maintains structure while still being unpredictable.
9The Great Old Ones
Tekeli-Li


Because, duh. Album rules.
10Damien Rice
O


In danger of becoming a repeat offender.
11Barrow
Though I'm Alone


Really love the emotion in this album, the clean vocals are incredible.

Emme Nae Elamaa


Finnish emo with a slight post-rock feel in parts. The album before, Näyt Kauas, is slightly heavier and just as good.
