Dummy is a great record to chill out to.
Anything post-rock…
- God is an astronaut
- Red Sparowes
- Mogwai
- Sigur Ros
- Explosions in the sky
Etc. Etc.
begins relaxing to Godspeed You! Black Emperor
This is a post-rock band I just … I don’t know … everyone praises them, but songs I’ve heard did not really convince me. It was somehow very different.
Even more than e.g. Mono and that’s Japanese band. And we all know how weird Japan things can be.
My first thought was Explosions in the Sky, nice to see it already listed.
I listen to all these except never heard of Red Sparrows, guess I’ll have to check them out
I finally get to my PC, so here’s more:
- Hammock
- Appalaches
- Unsigned Char
- PG.lost
- Bound (more of shoegaze)
- Caves of Steel
- Youth Pictures of Florence Henderson (more rock-ish, but great)
- Coastlands
- Distant Dream (more guitar soloing)
- El Ten Eleven (more electronic)
- El Altar Del Holocausto
- Goodbye Earth
- I/O
- Neil on Impression
- Nice Wings, Icarus!
- No One Wished To Settle Hereafter
- Old Solar
- Random Forest
- Redjetson
- Rhone
- Seanné
- Sleepmakeswaves
- Souls Vibrating in the Universe
- This Patch of Sky
- Upcdownc
- We Deserve This
- The End of the Ocean
- DiEgita
Most of these can be found on Bandcamp. Let me know if you like something.
Definitely do. They have quite distinct sound due to usage of lap steel guitar. I like it a lot.
I’ll check my collection for more bands like this if you’d like.

One of the chillest, good vibe albums I have ever listen to blind was Masayoshi Takanaka’s - All of me.
The youtube comment that was at the top of the video that I listened to years ago summed up the experience nicely, "No one searches for this album, it finds you when you need it.
