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

    Post rock post rock post rock post rock

    Explosions in the Sky

    Mogwai

    Sigur Ros

    The Album Leaf

    This Will Destroy You

    try these on for size and see if the genre takes you like it took me. I tried to include some stuff that is more traditional rock in form and instrumentation and some that is a bit more experimental in that regard.

        Damn I am digging these ones! The only I don’t from this list is Maybeshewill. I think I liked Long Distance Calling and God is an Astronaut the most. Thanks for the suggestions :)

          GiaA are fantastic live. If you ever get a chance to listen to them, don’t hesitate. My favourite concert experience ever

      Hello! Thanks for the recommendations. These are nice and I’ve seen others suggesting them as well. I appreciate the diversity in style too.

      Out of these, Explosions in The Sky has made it to my playlist. I can’t say I dislike the others but they also don’t hook me when I listen. Not my vibe I guess?

      So far out of the recommended postrock over this thread I’ve really liked Plini. I still got a lot of recommendations to check out though…

        Wild, I would’ve expected Mogwai to hit a little closer because they have a bit more of a radio friendly structure and you said you wantwd to keep away from more orchestral stuff.

        Still, glad you dig it and thanks for creating a great thread. This is the first lemmy thread I saved
