Bands sput has 'rediscovered'

was just wondering what bands have gone largely unnoticed and then had a surge of new found attention.

6Stereolab
Transient Random-Noise Bursts with Announcements


Certainly have become more aware of this band as of late due to reviews/thread bumps so I agree with Johnny and Demon that they belong here

'for Stereolab the only stat you need is that 6(!!) of their 10 LPs were unreviewed until the 2020-2023 window' - johnny
7Arab Strap
As Days Get Dark


Comeback lp has got way more attention that previous LPs, fair to say theyve been 'rediscovered'
8Dadawah
Peace and Love


1974

got a review in 2023 and was first voted on in 2011 with most votes happening in the last few years

Mignonne


1978

34 votes

first vote in 2018 from Fripp (assuming this was a fripp popularisation project, godbless him)

johnny says: yoshiko sai was mainly a reflection of a youtube algorithm that spread her second album out in 2019 (see my rev and subsequent ratings)

16Prefab Sprout
Jordan: The Comeback


im not prepared to properly dive into the ratings for sprout but from my quick glance there was a big uptick of votes from 2016 which again, i think is due to fripp banging on about them (and reviewing them if my memory serves me correctly)
