Mash together some brooding bass lines, soaring synth and mumbled melody, and life can be grand. HighSchool, from Melbourne, a case in point. Track released 2021.

Ride - Lannoy Point
No fuzzy sonic shoegaze stuff in this one (which is odd because it's by Ride). But Lannoy Point (2017) is many things - bittersweet - despairing - nostalgic - tempered with a willingness to believe. What's messed up can be made whole again....maybe a better sense can start again...
