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

Deadhorse! (We Can Create Our Own World specifically, they might have lyrics in other albums, can't confirm)

DJ Krush for some instrumental hip hop/trip hop.

Meute is a "techno marching band" - they mostly do covers/reworkings but they have some original works too. My fave tracks atm:

holy harbour
you & me
infinite
endling

Check out John Matthias & Jay Auborn’s album Ghost Notes it’s really great.

Big Smoke Brass is really fun if you like kinda upbeat acoustic instrumental music

La Femme has some amazing non-vocal music (altho a good portion has French/Spanish vocals)

If u like Jazz, check out the album The Bright Mississippi

No-one has mentioned "And so I watch you from afar" or "Redneck manifesto".
