1. “Quiet Nights” by Catching Flies

This state of the art electro-pop duo is most well known for their singles “Sun Models” and “Say My Name” and performing at music festivals across the nation. ODESZA’s album “In Return” is a hotchpotch of sounds but all work really well together.
This song in particular starts out with some sober drones, subtle drops of voices of children start to appear and then fluttering chimes make way that in the end build a breathtaking yet lighthearted atmosphere. It almost seems like you’ve entered a Japanese garden and you’re hearing all these beautiful sounds come together.
Hit play when you’re about to bury your nose into your philosophy or science textbook. Surely this song will match the tempo to your task. This song actually works great when typing up a lab report. Who knew?
3. “Xylophone (Populette Remix)” by Timothy J. Fairplay

To all those classical fans out there, this one is for you! Here is a modern take on a traditional piano set. Dustin O’Halloran captures the softness and stillness with a sprinkle of romance in this track. You could really listen to this song while you’re doing anything. Jotting down notes, updating your planner, watching life pass by while on the bus, the list is really endless.
5. “Intro” by The xx
