Although it has never been officially proven that listening to music helps when trying to study, I think it’s safe to say that we all enjoy tuning into our favorite Spotify playlist while we tackle a big project or essay. Â Here are five chill albums that will surely help you in your late night studying endeavors.
1. For Emma, Forever Ago – Bon Iver
Bon Iver’s debut album is sure to put you in the mood to read some Hemingway and tackle a big term paper. Â The album was even written while lead singer, Justin Vernon, was holed up in a big cabin for the winter. Â So grab a cup of tea and get ready to work.

2. Â Kid AÂ – Radiohead
Known as one of the best albums of all time, Kid A is a break from Radiohead’s classic instrumental feel, and a return to their electronic roots.  Thom Yorke’s hauntingly nostalgic voice and orchestral masterpiece makes this a great album to chill out to while preparing for an upcoming exam.

3.  Salad Days – Mac Demarco
Mac Demarco is a hit on all college campuses right now, so why not listen to one of his chillest albums while studying on Hartman? Â Although his style has been described as “slacker rock”, I think we all can agree that his music doesn’t slack on putting us in a good mood. Â

4. Let’s Dance Raw – Shintaro Sakamoto
This rising Japenese rock artist is sure to put you in the mood to finish that impending term paper you have yet to start. Â His latest album is an immersive blend of Hawaiian steel guitar and Brazilian cuica, resulting in a musical blend just as reminiscient of the late 90’s as it is the early 60’s. Â
Â
5.  Worship The Sun – Allah Las
This second full length release from L.A. garage psych revivalists, Allah Las, is sure to get your mind into the perfect mood to study. Â With an electic range of instrumental and vocal songs, this album transports you to the 60’s in Venice Beach, only more relaxing. Â
