Favorite Instrumental Rock Albums of 2025
Episode 374
Wednesday, 7 January, 2026

One of my favorite genre rabbit holes that I went down in 2025 was instrumental rock music. That title covers a lot of styles from post-rock to stoner rock to prog rock to cosmic country to fusion to psych rock etc. I've always listened to music that falls into this category whether it's Khruangbin or Causa Sui or Oren Ambarchi but this year my interest in this genre exploded. So I thought I would create a mix of some of my favorite instrumental rock albums from 2025. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the heavy stuff. This mix has a nice blend of a few heavy tunes with some Khruangbin-like tracks, a couple kraut rock style tracks, a jam band cut, a prog tune, even a dub track, and a bunch of other difficult to categorize music. >>>LINKS TO ALL THE MUSIC USED IN THIS MIX<<< 01 - https://actiontensionspace.bandcamp.com/album/new-dimensions 02 - https://heavypsychsoundsrecords.bandcamp.com/album/yawning-man-pavement-ends 03 - https://ambarchiberthlingwerliin.bandcamp.com/album/ghosted-iii 04 - https://elparaisorecords.com/product/causa-sui-in-flux/ 05 - https://piotrkurek.bandcamp.com/album/songs-and-bodies 06 - https://elparaisorecords.com/product/edena-gardens-dispossessed/ 07- https://barrywalker.bandcamp.com/album/barry-walker-unit-at-the-13th-moon-gravity-well 08 - https://jeffthebrotherhood.bandcamp.com/album/magick-songs 09 - https://kungensman.bandcamp.com/album/resande-i-rockmusik 10 - https://markusreuter.bandcamp.com/album/truce-3 11 - https://re-stoned.bandcamp.com/album/the-loom-maxi-single 12 - https://townportal.bandcamp.com/album/grindwork 13 - https://holmisanisland.bandcamp.com/album/behind-curtains 14 - https://yuuf.bandcamp.com/album/alma-s-cove 15 - https://eliwinter.bandcamp.com/album/a-trick-of-the-light I know this isn't the usual LLM ambient fare but it is still somehow trance inducing. I hope you enjoy this deviation from ambient bliss. Cheers!
