Finals start tomorrow. With a couple of five hour energies, everything might be alright. Until the end of next week, I'll probably be pulling my hair out. Here are some tunes that'll keep me sane until then. If you're taking finals, I hope they keep you sane too.
Four Tet - She Moves She
This dope instrumental comes from producer Four Tet. It's got a real peaceful, serene approach towards the beginning, with a nice guitar riff that's the focal point of the song. About halfway through, a new loop is introduced, and it sounds a bit like the sounds a photocopier makes. It's alarming at first, but after a few listens I really grew to welcome it. And the whole song is just so chill. The video is top-notch too, trance like.
Kings of Convenience - Know How
Perfect stress reliever. Soft-spoken vocals over really pleasant guitar riffs. And Feist appears about halfway in, and contributes to make the track even better.
Groove Armada - Hands of Time
British electronic group Groove Armada team up with Woodstock folk singer Richie Havens on this one, and the duo are outstanding. The result is an incredibly soulful track with Groove Armada's expected amazing production.
Lightning Seeds - Ghosts
From their recently released album, Four Winds, the Lightning Seeds show why they've had success since they bursted onto the British music scene in the late '80s. "Ghosts" has a great harmony of interacting male and female vocals.
