Can you recommend contemporary music artists without lyrics?

Mothra@mander.xyz to Asklemmy@lemmy.ml – 128 points –

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 following can be classed as instrumental, post-rock or post-metal:

  • Russian Circles
  • Caspian
  • ISIS (the band)
  • Sigur Ros
  • Mogwai
  • God Speed You! Black Emperor
  • Blanket
  • Vaudlow

Good list. Adding Ryuichi Sakamoto and Mono.

How could I forget Mono.

The album (ep?) For your parents is amazing.

I will give Ryuichi Sakamoto a listen now.

I went on about post rock in a different comment and I'm kicking myself for forgetting about gybe. Thank you.
