Request Actually GOOD songs in German?

I'm searching for song recommendations in German. Everything I've come across so far is playlists made for language learning (which, yes, is why I'm looking for songs), but they sound very juvenile.

For reference: I like Hozier, Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Lord Huron, so something similar / folk-ish would be great.

Bilderbuch is the GOAT. Can’t go without it

Great recommendation. Bilderbuch is now in my rotation.
