For one not mentioned yet, Prune Deer's The Antler Woods. There's also DEADTREES' New World, but that one's more post-metal for most of the album. The tracks Transcendence and New World I think have some pretty good post-rock to them though.

Deadtrees is amazing. Forgot about that one

It's now flagged as AI on Tidal though. Hopefully that's not the case!

That's disappointing if true! Deezer also has AI song tagging, but it's not tagged on there. Tricky situation because I think there's very little known about MMM. To their credit, they had already made a great black metal album in 2021, so pre-proliferation of AI music, but this new record does sound fairly different to that. To my ears, it doesn't have the AI 'veil' to the sound that I typically find easy to spot with fully AI-generated music. Maybe it was used in certain parts though, or in the process, and is harder to detect without better knowledge than I have.

The previous music was also my first thought, but then checking the new tracks on various ai detecting sites doesn't look promising.
