Game sound designers / composers to check out

I’m interested in scoring indie games, and would like to learn more about the workflow and trends from insiders. Who should I check out? Plugs are welcome.

Christopher Larkin did the amazing scoring of Hollow Knight. Its above and beyond. Be sure to check it out.

Can't speak to workflow or trends (all my game soundtracks are for projects that I'll probably never complete,) but as far as "game soundtracks/composers to check out" go, I'll throw in a plug for the work of the composers on the original Descent soundtrack. ~90 minutes of tunes that effortlessly blend a suitably driving techno-industrial vibe with surprisingly catchy hooks and melodies. Great stuff.
