Some bands with more "approachable" sounds (vs the xenharmonic playlist, which gets spicy) known for microtonal work:
Psychedelic rock:
- King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard (namely albums Flying Microtonal Banana, KG, LW)
- Altin Gün
- Gaye su Akyol
Classic blues rock (Led Zeppelin and the like, but also OG blues like Robert Johnson, that's another rabbit hole) also has a surprising amount of off-12Tet notes, because of the blues scale
In the electronic realm, Aphex Twin does some interesting stuff with microtones
- Jacob Collier - musical prodigy, mostly a capella/vocal arranging, but is a genre polymath, does some incredible stuff with just harmony
If anyone has anything to add, please do! I can't get enough of this stuff
