Instrumental Music

how to get your ex back

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!

    You could definitely add Kasabian’s “Swarfiga”… It would suit perfectly 😉

    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).

    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.
