A lot of nice suggestions I'll check out, but most RIO/Avant type music does not hit me in the sweet spot usually, I have too many genres that influence my habits. Nothing wrong with any choices.......I'll try and pick my fav from each year 2010-2018 (so far).

2010 - Pineapple Thief~Someone Here Is Missing
2011- Agents of Mercy~The Black Forest
2012- Marillion~Sounds That Cant Be Made
2013- Steven Wilson~The Raven That Refused To Sing
2014- IQ~Road Of Bones
2015- Echolyn~I Heard You Listening
2016- iamthemorning~Lighthouse
2017- Anathema~The Optimist
2018 (so far)- Riverside~Wasteland

Those are some of my favourites:
http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=116309

I especially fell in Love, with Bubblemath, I think their basic sound is exactly where prog should go.
But where should prog go? I mean that not in a sense of "I want stagnancy". I think prog should stay free but it could inspire itself a little more by the likes of Bubblemath, cause these guys are great. Igorrr is mind bending sound editing. Yowie Math Rock from hell. Very ill and alien. Guerilla Toss, industrial torture in a modern view. PoiL is... PoiL. Major Parkinson is cabaret like contrasts. And old music in a very modern sound. And finally Chenille is voices with melodies that could been removed from pop songs and put over black metal.

Some bands that haven't been mentioned yet that definitely sounded 'new' to me the first time I heard them, not all are on this website:

Ricinn - Great folksy/metal/opera-y music:

Oxxo Xoox - Progressive/Avant doom metal:


Merkabah - aggressive jazz:

Francis Lickerish - Lush Folksy/Symphonic from an ex-Enid member (sample only):

Kaizers Orchestra - three album concept, norwegian alternative

Sorne - tribal / folksy / non traditional instruments:

Mary Ocher - paranoid art-pop

Colin Stetson - Sorrow - reimagining a classical symphony as post-rock with operatic vocals:

Diablo Swing Orchestra - Metal inspired by Swing Classical and Electronic ... done really well

Richard Dawson - great off-kilter story-telling folk

Major Parkinson - the best - off-kilter prog/pop

Volcano the Bear - Avant/Prog with droney/industrial/folky inspiration, surprised none of the other avant heads mentioned this:

Zeal and Ardor - Black metal with slave chant

Merkabah has a heavy doze of klezmer too reminds me of slivovitz
If you like that polka and klezmer stuff you have to listen to Affengin. Simply brilliant.
For Major Parkinson, look at my list. I have added their blackbox. But I also like the album you linked. It would be my second choice. The debut is also very catchy.

The problem with this question is that it's tied to the "genre prog" idea. I think that in the first place exciting new music is done by people who don't care about what genre they belong to, not like "we're prog and we're going XYZ". Musicians who have their own personal musical "message", who come up with something fresh or surprising, as Battles do. Such stuff will always be better than what I think in advance where people should go...

I would like to suggest Karma Rassa from Saint-Petersburg. The New album "Vesna...Snova Vesna" (spring...Spring Again) is with russian lyrycs and with atmoshear of 4 seasons, so it sounds pretty interesting for progressive rock|art rock. I recomend)
