Grinding away in Sunless Sea, I love the game music. It's brilliant, atmospheric, and galvanizing. And also, when going about the Surface world and listening to random stuff on Spotify, I find myself noticing which songs remind me of the Zee...
Here are a few, and why:
Decemberists: The Mariner's Revenge
The most obvious song, but this seems to encapsulate so many aspects of the Neath in general and Sunless Sea in particular. Tragic backstory, childhood spent among the Urchins, time grinding Connected: The Church, and finally taking to the sea as a privateer only to end up in the belly of a whale with one's nemesis? It's hard to get more Neathy.
Patrick Wolf: The Shadow Sea
It's very short. The lyrics are two lines long. Those two lines could appear in a Ship's Log entry as something you overhear a mournful crew-entity singing under hir breath... and then punish hir severely for.
The Gothic Archies: Shipwrecked
On a cheerier note, the Gothic Archies have penned this ballad about the delights of ending up marooned on an island with your beloved, and eating them.
Your favorites?

I bet if we thought about it we could make a whole soundtrack of Decemberists songs. Here's another:
From My Own True Love (Lost At Sea) - Decemberists

I haven't been combining any music with my zailing, but my love of the atmospheric sound effects tripped me up entirely by incorporating other background noise - it took me 2 months to realise that the intermittent haunting cry that echoes across the zee isn't part of the game at all - it's the sound of trains rounding a corner on the track half a mile away. And yet it sounds just like some terrifying beast calling across the waves. Spooky.
