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
DJ Krush for some instrumental hip hop/trip hop.
Chief Kaya, Benzmixer, Automhate, Versa, Badphaze, Akirah, Ternion Sound, Spass, Aweminus
Herbie Hancock, Snarky Puppy
Shai Maestro Trio.
Feint, Matt Large, and especially Gregory David are awesome.
Additionally, Bernth is really cool if you like guitar.
Marconi Union, Mord Fustang, Caravan Palace, Pkch, Siriusmo, Jacob Mann Big Band, Shubh Saran.
That should get you a wide variety.
Peter Gundry, Adrian von Ziegler
Check out DJ Ugly Katz!
Disclaimer: That’s one of my own projects…
Finally I made it here. I like the Chesire! Cheers
Jon Hopkins, Boards of Canada
Listened to these two albums today, both fantastic

https://youtu.be/2GhWimO54YEI like to listen to synthwave when driving and I can recommend ‘Rivera Rivera’ and ‘Inexdra’ as well as ‘Cartridge 1987’.
The latter has some great songs that tell a story without any words.
Apocalyptica. Metal on the cello. They sometimes have s guest vocalist. I like their self-titled album.
Phamie Gow. Pianist and harpist. Maybe too orchestral. I turn to the Beyond the Milky Way album oftenwhen working out studying.
Mary Lattimore. Experimental harpist. I’ve been enjoying her latest album, West Kensington, with guitarist Paul Sukeena.
Kelly Moran. Experimental pianist Can’t recommend her album Ultraviolet enough.
Burial. For some chilled, glitchy dubstep.
The Comet is Coming. For some psych jazz.
Moderat. For some house electronica.
Uboa. For some droney, noisy, doomy metal.
George Clanton. For some synthpop vapourwave. His latest album is great.
