I'm sure you've heard of it, but have you ever actually gone and listened to it, in order, from start to finish? It's legitimately fantastic.
If you're not into classical, though, I'd recommend some folk/indie bands. They often have excellent concept albums. The Crane Wives is my top recommendation, and The Arcadian Wild is a great runner upper.

While The Lord of the Rings was being filmed, Viggo Mortensen (Aragorn) would hike for days to the filming locations, in costume with his sword, in order to appear authentically travel-worn.
His neighbors called the police on him because he would practice his sword moves in front of his house.
He kept the horse that he rode during the film, too, and the crew said he'd spend hours in the barn bonding with the horses before filming.
Amazing actor.

It's pretty sweet. I especially recommend indie or soft j-rock. It's like an entirely different genre.

I found it recently, and it's just so chill, with minimal weirdness compared to most of my music taste, so it's good to decompress to.
I've also been listening to a lot of AURORA again recently. I love her music so much.
