Can you recommend contemporary music artists without lyrics? (mander.xyz)

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

Guts Pie Earshot are one of my favorite bands - just Cello & Drums (except in their first years), for example Butterfly

The Comet Is Coming - for some psychedelic/jazz/rock, Tiny Desk Concert

Space Rock - An Interstellar Traveller's Guide is one of my favorite compilation albums (so not really an artist but a bunch of artists)

Some more space rock: Yuri Gagarin

Die Wilde Jagd have some lyrics, but also many instrumental tracks, like Austerlitz.

When it comes to techno, there is obviously a lot of choice, I like e.g. Ellen Alien Lism for a more ambient vibe
