See the post I just made before this one - most of the bands are NOT RIO/Avant.

It depends on who is making the recommendations. A good chunk of Logan's and Nogbad's are most certainly RIO/Avant(not that there's anything wrong with that). 

Edit: I admit I responded too hastily. Yes, many of yours are not RIO/Avant and represent a good cross section of newer prog that is not neo or symph by numbers(I'm guessing). Nice list.

Alec K Redfearn and the Eyesores - Sister Death (2012) - already mentioned by my better half
Ut Gret - Ancestor's Tale (2014)
Frogg Cafe - Bateless Edge (2010)
MoeTar - From These Small Seeds (2010)
miRthkon - Snacks (2013)
Moraine - Groundswell (2013)

A shout out for some excellent albums of a more "mainstream" persuasion, which should appeal to those who prefer not to stray too far from classic prog modes:

Phideaux - Snowtorch (2011)
Shadow Circus - On a Dark and Stormy Night (2013)
3rd Degree - The Long Division (2012)
The Tea Club - Grappling (2015)
Hands - Caviar Bobsled (2015)

More to come later...

most excellent selection darlin'

let me add a couple more that were highlights of the decade. One from a previously mentioned band, a huge one in terms of modern prog.  Who earlier did have IMO the single greatest modern prog album.. one correctly identified by some as the ITCotKC of modern progdressive music and while not reinventing wheel... did much to define it. The incredible Mirroed

Battles la di da di



and a group and album that sort of went nowhere....  little love here and they never did another album but what a gem they did do.

Sweet Fingers from Mexico who did an album in 2011 then fell off the face of the earth as far as I know..

Though an old timer, Martin Barre's band is new, and really making great music. Not prog indeed, but really progressive, specially his new album "Roads Less Travelled."

If we extend to people who made their start a bit before 2010, ex-Battles Tyondai Braxton (son of free jazz giant Anthony Braxton) is very adventurous and also tasteful enough to make most of his work both progressive and good to listen to.

Hmmm let's see.
Favourite new bands. I'm a big fan of William D. Drake and the North Sea Radio Orchestra - already listed. Also these don't count because they're around for longer than a decade.
OK, so starting from 2010 or later...
My no. 1 band listed here is probably Sonar (actually recommended by Nogbad the bad, one more he himself can't list first Wink).
Not listed on PA as far as I know: I just discovered Stuff. https://stuffmusic.bandcamp.com/
Floating Points https://floatingpointsluakabop.bandcamp.com/
Lucy (Luca Mortellaro) is pretty cool, and I also like the new incarnation of the Radiophonic Workshop as a band (which in its origins is actually much older than prog). 

As best album of the 2010s I'd probably nominate Swans' The Seer; their two following albums To Be Kind and Glowing Man are not far behind. "I a moon" of the North Sea Radio Orchestra is just wonderful. "Fun with Music" of a.P.A.t.t. is a delight, and don't forget the good old Art Zoyd who in 2011 delivered a very strong album with "Eyecatcher".

I'll give a shout out to Bent Knee, The Winstons and Zwoyld as modern bands.

In terms of albums of the decade, either by classic bands or more modern ones:

Rational Diet - On Phenomena and Existences
Electric Orange - Volume 10
Bent Knee - Shiny Eyed Babies
Cosmic Ground - Cosmic Ground 2
Aranis - Roqueforte
Univers Zero - Clivages
Ut Gret - Radical Symmetry
Zwoyld - 200 000
Kayo Dot - Coyote
Chrome Hoof - Chrome Black Gold
Guapo - History of the Visitation
Setna - Guérison
Yolk - Solar
The Winstons - The Winstons
Alamaailman Vasarat - Valta
Yugen - Iridule
Magma - Félicité Thösz
Matt Berry - Kill the Wolf (not in PA, but Prog enough to me)

EDIT: I think that David Bowie's Blackstar deserved a mention.

Guapo - History of the Visitation (2013)
Knifeworld - The Unraveling (2014)/ Bottled Out of Eden (2016)
William D. Drake - The Rising of the Lights (2011)/ Revere Reach (2015)
North Sea Radio Orchestra - I a Moon (2011)/ Dronne (2016)
Chrome Hoof - Chrome Black Gold (2013)
Charlie Cawood - The Divine Abstract (2017)

Since
a lot of excellent albums have been released during the past nine
years, I'll stick to those I consider essential, rather than mentioning
everything - which would take me ages.



Superb list Raff, I'm going to have to think a bit harder to add to that.

I know Raff will mention it.. but I'll steal her thunder.

The single best prog album of the decade by far... UT Gret -Ancestor's Tale

the bassoon rules.. but not as much as Cheyenne did on that album..  she was enough to blow my 20 year abstinence away when she handed me a joint and ... well... was I going to refuse.. HELL NO!!!!!

For me - and I haven't really searched too high or low - I have found 2 bands that really interest me:
 1. Lifesigns (pretty good)
 2. Perfect Beings ( REALLY good!)
 I would hope to add to this list later, as I'm hungry for new talent as well.
