RATATAT has been a favorite of mine for a long time. Love almost every single song of theirs.

Com Truise

Check out ENV -- Some of my favorite lyric-less music. There are a couple of playlists on YouTube with their albums. Firefrost is a good song to start with.

Listened to these two albums today, both fantastic

Little People
Rival Consoles

Infected Mushroom

Zircon

Eskimo

If you like solar fields, try Asura (also on ultimae records)! Also, hinkstep is pretty nice but has vocals some of the time.

Sure, just Odesza we were young Two feet just felt like playing the guitar and not singing Odesza kusangi Odesza koto Brock Berrigan Making Up (70s inspired music) Hippie Sabotage enlightened energy Hippie Sabotage smoke room Hippie Sabotage drifter

Not everyonea cup of tea, alternative/edm but yes let me know your thoughts

Polyphia is a pretty incredible instrumental band.

HOME, the anthem of speedrunning is by them too.

GoGo Penguin is a jazzy trio from the UK that makes midern jazz that is really engaging. I'm really a progmetalhead, but this band is ficking epic.

Bersarin Quartett is another band that I love. It's is a bit tough to get into, but it's really rewarding if you like slowish dreamy complex music. All song titles are in German, but luckily there's no lyrics.

Lustre

Daliborovo Granje (Epic Croate Psychedelia)

Tommy Guerrero

Estas Tonne

Check out DJ Ugly Katz!

Disclaimer: That's one of my own projects...

If the reason you want something without lyrics is so that you can focus on other stuff, you could consider songs in other languages. There's so much content out there to explore, and you might be able to find stuff in a genre that you already enjoy. I don't find it distracting, and it's fun finding new artists I otherwise would have never tried.

When I want pure instrumental, I usually go "instrumental {{genre}}" and just save the playlists.

Khruangbin

If you like guitar, Tom Anello.

Rival Consoles

plini, an addition to all the rock/metal listed

Carpenter Brut. Though I only really listen to the trilogy from them.

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.

I guess you might like ambient music. It's a huge genre, but since you have start somewhere https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJFai85mu8M&list=OLAK5uy_kK7tukxLd8mVVTU1LdBAqIuDQIIalolvU (he died 5 days ago btw, may he RIP)

The French 79 has some lyrics but is primarily electronic melodies

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!

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.

I'd recommend Solo by RiveR idk about the rest of their songs though I've only listened to Solo.

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