When I go way back, I recall Pere Ubu being like that for me. Of course their music has all sorts of hidden qualities, so it fits. The weird thing is today, it's so familiar to me, I have to remind myself how really strange, obscure, and multi-layered the music is. I honestly always liked it, but it took quite a few listens to really hear it nonetheless.
Low also come to mind. They aren't exactly complicated, but there is something going on beneath the surface nonetheless, perhaps emotionally.
And this is going to sound a bit from left field, but Blue Oyster Cult's first record had that hazy, infesting quality too. The soon became a bit too FM rock, but the first record has a really haunting quality that definitely grows with repeats.
