Instrumentalists

Kaki King
The beautiful Night After Sidewalk is definitely the best track on her album Everybody Loves You but there are many other tracks which are almost as engaging. A very skilled guitarist with a talent for creating percussive and rhythmic songs.

My Friend the Chocolate Cake
Each of their albums features at least a few instrumental tracks. Highlights include Greenkeeping, Brood, Bottom of the Rustics, Yandoit, The Romp, A Slow Storm Brews and The Kilana Stringband Song. Almost an orchestra rather than a band with talented string players alongside front man David Bridie.

Dead Can Dance
In amongst the vocals, which play around with linguistic features, there are also some great instrumentals like Saltarello and Radharc. World music with a twist and two fantastic vocalists who complement each other nicely.
