Frank Ocean.
But usually, it's more about mood with that changing weekly. I've moved into ambient/piano/instrumental recently.
My listening is a mix of Pitchfork recommendations, Spotify discovery and open ear. I make a monthly playlist: https://open.spotify.com/user/ar...
Ooh good question - Khruangbin is my go to for sure (https://open.spotify.com/track/2...)
@samliebeskind Sounds good! Thanks for sharing!
I also just discovered Polo & Pan and it's pretty good background ambient music https://open.spotify.com/track/2...
@samliebeskind I like this. Thanks for sharing!
@samliebeskind Yes love Polo & Pan.
One and only - Rush 🤘

This song give motivation : Mood (feat. iann dior) https://open.spotify.com/track/3...
@jacquelinclem Sounds great! Thanks for sharing.
For me it has to be Poolside FM. The best thing to hit the beach since my sunburned torso.
Love this question! I used to listen to a lot of Mac Ayres. I tend to stick to songs that I know well, that way I can zone in an out without getting too distracted. If I listen to anything unfamiliar I will just start paying attention to the music to get the lyrics lol.
Also, I've found that music from brain fm helps for focus when I am working.
@hannahsuyun Absolutely relate to this. Thanks for sharing your perspective.
@hannahsuyun I totally agree. For me it's all things instrumental, ambient, drone. As someone who codes, having music without vocals is essential as I find my brain instantly gets distracted by voice.
@john_flynn_son I love listening to this while working https://open.spotify.com/track/7...
Since you like ambient music, I think you might like this too. :)
I love to listen to Miles Davis, he has an enormous body of work spanning 4 decades, so I can pick a different album every week without getting bored. While his music is freeform jazz, it does have a disciplined structure as well. But you have to listen to his music on HiFi quality. Nugs.net or Deezer are the HiFi streaming services I currently use with noise cancelling headphones. Recently got the AirPods Max and love how comfortable they fit and isolate me from all the sounds of life around me. I was never a fan of noise cancelling headphones, till the pandemic. Having to work with my wife and infant daughter around me all day, has made me so grateful to whoever invented noice canceling technology :)
@parag_ayetap Thanks for sharing! Will definitely listen to Miles Davis. :)

@megan_bednarczyk I was lucky enough to see this album performed live in Philly. Sufjan and his team were all decked out in cheer squad outfits. I lean into Carrie and Lowell for work.

Cuco - I'm a lofi-addict and his music reminds of lofi with the addition of a voice.
@dennisfrompatturn I love lo-fi myself. :)

Try Funked up East on youtube, many great jazz and flowing music
@anfilatov Surely! Thanks for sharing!
Lately I've been into pop music that goes classical, so any classical rendition of generic pop songs (that I used to loathe) is now my go-to playlist while doing work! Here's my current favourite band that does a lot of orchestral covers https://open.spotify.com/artist/...
