I'm a pretty big fan of instrumental music. I find it to be good music to listen to while doing homework or reading and I've been doing a lot of that recently so I've compiled a little playlist of some of my favorite instrumentals. I'm mostly focusing on “indie” types of instrumentals ranging from folk to electronic. Some songs are from bands that are exclusively instrumental while others are just one of the few instrumental songs that a band has (many are aptly named “Instrumental”). Sometimes I like to let the music speak for itself and in this case that's all there is. Enjoy!

Hey buddy, cheers for puting me onto somr great bands here. Really like the Six Parts Seven track. Thanks!
Kayne West made a remake of this (Aphex Twin – Avril 14th)
I understand this post is years old, however this genre ceases to age. I’m surprised m83 didn’t make the cut.
will you put these on 8tracks? or is there some way to listen to all of them as a playlist?
Kathryn for me they play as a playlist if I just click the play button by the first track (not the track itself).
This is incredible. You have brightened up my day! Thank you.
Great list! I am a fan of Boards of Canada!
Very different feel but check out Audiograft’s Melody in the Half-Light album. Great background music.
This is lovely! Thanks for putting it up :)
Thanks so much. This was a nice discovery for me!!
Only a few guide excursions are set up as well. For any schooling sorts there are actually speaks with universities as well as psychic readings on guide shops.
