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

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

Nice! Thanks, I didn't know about them

Nickel Creek is cool! They have songs with vocals too, but some instrumental stuff as well. Kinda bluegrass feel. My favorite of theirs is Smoothie Song

Guillaume David knocks it out of the park with every game they OST.

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".
