City of the Sun is some fantastic Latin-inspired instrumental post-rock. (Thatβs 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. Itβs 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.
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:
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.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/watch?v=XvbwR7v4v2w

I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.
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.

The French 79 has some lyrics but is primarily electronic melodies
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.
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.
Thanks for the recommendation. I can't say I've had much exposure to Gothic music but it's something I should definitely look more into, I like the dark atmosphere.
Jade Cicada, Tipper, Spoonbill.
A few more for you that I don't think I've seen mentioned: Kalaido Tycho Worakls The Cinematic Orchestra
Well, I happen to quite like upbeat, 8-bit-style music, but here's concrete artists nonetheless:
Marconi Union, Mord Fustang, Caravan Palace, Pkch, Siriusmo, Jacob Mann Big Band, Shubh Saran.
That should get you a wide variety.
Browsed the comments really quickly and couldnβt see that anyone had mentioned Plini, so thereβs my recommendation.
There were a couple others who also mentioned it. I didn't know about it, it's definitely a keeper! Thanks for the recommendation
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
RΓΆyksopp
Feint, Matt Large, and especially Gregory David are awesome.
Additionally, Bernth is really cool if you like guitar.
Shai Maestro Trio.
Chief Kaya, Benzmixer, Automhate, Versa, Badphaze, Akirah, Ternion Sound, Spass, Aweminus
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.

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.

I've been enjoying Los Bitchos
DJ Krush for some instrumental hip hop/trip hop.
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
