I haven't seen anyone mention Tempel yet. And yes, it's spelled Tempel not Temple.

I've been listening to a lot of music that is featured on the NPR shows Hearts of Space and Echos, which i highly recommend. The following artists/bands are of that type, instrumental, chill, "slow music for fast times", and all are available on Bandcamp.

Hollan Holmes

Kiasmos

Lars Leonhard

Michael Stearns

Röyksopp

The French 79 has some lyrics but is primarily electronic melodies

Look up Nox Arcana if you want something Gothic. Might be a bit too orchestral for your needs, but it's a dark version that's unlike anything I've heard.

Lindsey Stirling? Not sure if this is up your alley, but, her music is pretty great.

Also, Two Cellos, and the Piano guys.

Its, not classical. It's all instrumental music, no singing.

Oh, and as a bonus- more of their songs then not, are pretty damn good. I can listen to them non-stop through an entire workday.

Browsed the comments really quickly and couldn’t see that anyone had mentioned Plini, so there’s my recommendation.

Zoe Keating https://music.zoekeating.com/album/into-the-trees

The Flying Luttenbachers

A few more for you that I don't think I've seen mentioned: Kalaido Tycho Worakls The Cinematic Orchestra

Jade Cicada, Tipper, Spoonbill.

Well, I happen to quite like upbeat, 8-bit-style music, but here's concrete artists nonetheless:

• Tremeschin
• Parnikkapore

Detektivbyron

Its Swedish folk music with some electronica.

I only have the Hemvagen EP, and I really like half of songs, with the title track being my favorite. I think the E18 album contains all of the same songs and more.

They were partly inspired by Yann Tiersen who I also really like. Perhaps you've heard the Amelie soundtrack. If not, it's excellent.

Chapelier Fou, but kinda went into a "symphonic direction" over the years I guess, but maybe you still like the older stuff? My personal favorite.

When I'm working, I listen to Lydian Collective and Tennyson (some of his tracks don't have vocals). You might enjoy them as well!

I like Monster Rally a lot, they use a bunch of old tropical sounding music samples and put beats on it. Very good for relaxing and vibing.

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

Covet, Chon, Scale the Summit, Caspian, Mouse on the keys, God is an astronaut, Weekend Plans, DJ Williams projekt

I like everything black sky giant has done. And just look at this sweet album cover: https://blackskygiant.bandcamp.com/album/planet-terror

(The opening track has some light vocal samples, but there's no lyrics or vocal parts in their stuff generally)

Edit: you can also click on the "instrumental" tag on that page and go exploring.

Chief Kaya, Benzmixer, Automhate, Versa, Badphaze, Akirah, Ternion Sound, Spass, Aweminus

Marconi Union, Mord Fustang, Caravan Palace, Pkch, Siriusmo, Jacob Mann Big Band, Shubh Saran.

That should get you a wide variety.

Adam Young, the guy behind Owl City has made albums under different names, including his own. One of the bands is Port Blue; he made an almost purely instrumental (only vocals are the first few seconds of the second track) album called The Airship. It feels rather experimental, but I use it to calm down. The other works are under his own name: Apollo 11, Project Excelsior, and Voyager 1.

All are well made and they tell a story through the instrumental music. Would recommend.

If I'm looking to maximize my relaxation, then it's hard to go wrong with Sleepy Fish. Chill beats all the way.

If you want acoustic guitar playing that you probably never experienced before, then check out Alan Gogoll. Love his stuff. Always nice to listen to. His song Mulberry Mouse is a favorite of mine.

Aether also has a few instrumental albums. Eshajori is a very melancholic feeling album. Gives me a lonely, empty feeling, but I love it all the same.

In a completely different direction, but you could check out The Glitch Mob. Definitely electronic, but I wouldn't say EDM.

That's all I have on my phone at the moment. Hopefully these are good starts.

Flamingosis

Eevee

Anamanaguchi

Peter Gundry, Adrian von Ziegler

DJ Krush for some instrumental hip hop/trip hop.

City of the Sun is some fantastic Latin-inspired instrumental post-rock. (That’s probably drivel, idk what genre they are).

Their cover of Young Folks is how I found them, but their self-titled album from 2020 is probably one of my favorites of the last several years. It’s a good balance of calming serenades and powerful melodies.

Hon. mention - The Samuel Jackson Five - Easily Misunderstood is another old favorite of mine. Angrier and edgier, but still haunting in its own way.

The Beastie Boys also have a couple fantastic instrumental jam albums - The In Sound From Way Out, and The Mix-Up.

I've been enjoying Los Bitchos

Elephant Sessions, Kan, Peatbog Faeries, Monster Ceilidh Band, Flook. Peatbog Faeries have a new album out now that's great, but it is their first album with some vocal samples (not with many words though). All Celtic fusion bands to a greater or lesser degree.

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

Helios - Caesura and Ochre - Lemodie for electronic music. Jizue - Bookshelf and Mouse on the Keys - An Anxious Object for jazz. Auxcide - of Atoms and Stardust for chiptune. Kplecraft - L 012 for both chiptune And jazz. Flying Saucer Attack - Distant Station for space rock. Dedalus - Dedalus.

Nils Frahm, his albums are quite different from each other; here are some I like in no particular order:

• Spaces
• 7fingers
• Electric Piaon
• Streichelfisch
