Can you recommend contemporary music artists without lyrics?
Keyword artist , or band/group name. I'm not looking for a genre, I want to search artists. Tell me about someone you like listening to.
Would appreciate if it's Not symphonic/orchestral movie/videogame OST. I know there is a lot of really good music in this category but I'm trying to avoid recommendations like Hans Zimmerman or Jeremy Soule or Enya etc., since they are either really well known or fall into the orchestral and/or "epic music score" I'm not looking for.
It's OK if some tracks have vocals or even some lyrics/voice samples but I prefer to keep them at a minimum.
Any suggestions? TIA

The term for this would be 'instrumental', which I only mention because it might help you find what you want. If you search streaming platforms for '[some genre] instrumental' it might turn up a playlist.
Here's some favourite albums of mine, which are 'ambient' so you might find them terribly boring, but they certainly are instrumental:
Thanks for the suggestions, I do like ambient sometimes, though when I do it's more on the psychedelic side. Of your list Pole caught my ear.
"Instrumental" is so broad and often leaves out a lot of electronica which I like. Hence why I'm asking for artists as opposed to genre.
Yeah, Pole is really different, and so good!
And what I was getting at with 'instrumental' is that it can just be added onto any genre/mood/activity and that can help you narrow it down and find stuff you want at that moment. So if you want instrumental electronica, you can find playlists for that, e.g. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZF1EIe2aICIo80hb As for moods and activities, examples would be 'Chill Instrumental Beats' https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZF1DX0khTY3HFA4M and 'Instrumental Study' https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZF1DX9sIqqvKsjG8
