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

    Godspeed you! Black Emperor

    Edit: I’m not old, but old enough that I only really remember their first round of albums. No idea what the newer ones are like, sadly. Just never got around to listening.

      “God is an astronaut” “Boards of Canada”

      Along with Godspeed, those 3 were like my university study mix.

        God is an astronaut always reminded me of Explosions in the sky (or vice versa?)

        Idk the last one

        I would mix in some chill shit like John Fahey, some heavy shit like early Earth, or lighter post rock too. Depended on my mood
