It's time to face it - the holidays are over and everyone you know (yourself included) has hit the ground running into an endless list of to-dos. To counteract the feeling of burning that expensive soy candle at both ends, we've created a short playlist to help balance everything out. Whether you're in the daily grind at the office or trying to unwind in the car, we've got the top picks to pair with your environment. Go for it; all we need from you is to take a deep breath in and then out.
Brooklyn based artist, Frisco J, delivers upbeat instrumentals that are just as good as that first cup of coffee. "Sun Shower" is warm, energetic and the best foundation for starting your day off right. Pair this with meditation or a quick sun salutation before facing your day head-on.
We're all for head bangers or dancing in our seats during traffic jams, but sometimes "calmer" is what the soul needs. If this sounds like your speed, look to Adam Pasion's "May It Be a Sweet Sound". The song is perfect for either going to or leaving work, the complex folk instrumentals leads into a rising and inspiring arc -- the perfect formula for getting you through every red light you're encountering today.
Singer-songwriter Meredith Godreau of Gregory and the Hawk serenades us in this calming yet upbeat folk melody. "Blind and Unwise" magically cures our midday slump, guiding us back to sense and peace of mind. Also, you deserve the reward of making it halfway through that to-do list!
Drawing influences from the likes of Sigur Ros to Bon Iver, Portland-based artist Mree is the remedy we were craving for recollecting ourselves. "Breathe Easy" reminds us to do exactly that — Mree's sound is wholesome, rich equally in voice and instrumentals.
