Usually I listen to Death Cab when I want to relax. Anyone have any suggestions?

Wow. How can you possibly be restful while listening to such extreme and abrasive bands?

EDIT: You're new, so to be a little less mean, I'll say welcome to the forums. Don't let people like me being assholes get you down. Hopefully you find some new music you can dig and engage in a few good musical discussions on here.

haha Did you feel bad when you saw she's 13?

[cshadows2887]

No. More that it was her first post. I hate people who are mean to newcomers, just because they're new. So I wanted to temper my douchebaggery a touch.

Good to know that some people are compassionate on this site :)

There are a surprising amount of decent people on here. Don't get too cynical too quickly.

Haha I'll try. I'm actually not new to this site at all though, I just never posted or even made an account until pretty recently...

Fair enough. Then you've probably seen some of the decent people, so I'm hopefully preaching to the choir.

Yeah, I know there's plenty of decent people around. It just seems like for every one of them, there's like 3 cynical assholes.

Understandable. MCR puts me to sleep too.

Iron & Wine. Plain and simple.

Yes.

Others would be the new Jeff Martin and Steven Padin album (check avatar), foreverinmotion, Copeland, Daphne Loves Derby, Cary Brothers, Regina Spektor, Anchor & Braille, just to name a few.

[Bruised26]

Good call; forgot to mention The New Amsterdams, too. I have yet to check Pryor's solo album yet. Good stuff?

I love chilling to this CD.

[youngmountain]

http://www.indieshuffle.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/20091014_nick_drake_pink_moon.jpg

Incredible album, one of my all time favourites.

My suggestion - Ólafur Arnalds

[inthemidst]

http://www.indieshuffle.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/20091014_nick_drake_pink_moon.jpg

Although his songs are somber, I love Nick's easy-to-listen-to acoustic melodies.

[antimatter]

Minus the Bear - planet of ice

For me anyway.

And anything Owen.

[Alex1410]

Bon Iver
Johnny Cash
oddly i find mastodon - crack the skye quite relaxing!

[matchbox202006]

Nine Days-Madding Crowed CD or whatever it was called. So easy to sit out on a bench somewhere and relax to.

I'm the loser still waiting for a new Nine Days CD.

[SLoT]

I write ambient music on my own for just this reason. Also, I will not post a link to it, for fear of being raped with words upon the very site I love.

But I can point you to Andy McKee, who is incredible.

[feedingthefoxes]

Tegan And Sara
This Will Destroy You
Fear Before
etc.

[inyoursea]

Good call; forgot to mention The New Amsterdams, too. I have yet to check Pryor's solo album yet. Good stuff?

yeah it's real good, relaxing stuff.

Sleeping at Last.

Sleeping at Last.

[El_Jeffe]

No one better than R. Carlos Nakai.

This.
I also like Clarity, Mae's "Destination:Beautiful" and "The Everglow", and "Cities" by Anberlin, just because I know them better than any other album.

Wow. How can you possibly be restful while listening to such extreme and abrasive bands?

I do that too. Last night I fell asleep listening to mewithoutYou (A to B Life) and I fell asleep to Thursday for months. It's just relaxing to me because I like the music.

[shit stroll]

quiet pygmy lush

[sharpieboy99]

The wailers, of course! Really, anything with Peter Tosh...

[Star Slight]

Deyarmond Edison recently. Also as people have said, Nick Drake, Bon Iver and American Football

And Astral Weeks by Van Morrison

[SuchAPerson22]

http://www.punktastic.com/images/reviews/1219183719.jpg
Specifically, "Caves." Just so dang eerie.

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/510iFcM5oPL._SL500_AA240_.jpg
Specifically, "As Long as We Keep Our Bodies Numb We're Safe." I put this CD in, lie down, and get through the "harder" songs throughout, but by the time I get to that long end of the last song... It's just so repetitive and calming to me, if that makes any sense.

http://eil.com/newGallery/Jimmy-Eat-World-Futures-320942.jpg
See FWYK, only replace it's last song with "23" and "Drugs or Me."

[awakeohsleeper]

Who are they?
Pretty much my favourite band. Check them out. There's a free six song sampler on Noisetrade.

[lightupthesky]

i prefer absolute silence, if not the ambience of my ceiling fan, but my boyfriend likes to sleep to Cybo or Emily Haines.

[walkonpastme]

a lot of music by this producer/dj named welder is really peaceful. also when i want to sleep i listen to younger brother

[inthemidst]

Haha, I know who they are, I was just messing with you hoping that you'd find out it was me. SAL is one of my favorite bands, if not my favorite lol.

Haha, I thought you might have been but then couldn't remember if I'd had a conversation with you about them. And it was first thing this morning so I was tired... I can't get out of this... embarrassing mistake on my part! Sorry!

All good, my friend. I've definitely been there. I changed my avatar, so maybe that threw you off!

[SubStylee]

Bob Marley
Jack Johnson
Peter Tosh
Sublime :-d

[guitarpickheart]

It always takes me forever to recognize people when they change their avatars, since I pretty much only tell who's posting by the avatar.

[fifpb99]

reign of kindo

[petertoshsghost]

It was all about the original Wailers: Peter, Bunny and Bob are untouchable as a trio. Aside from that incarnation of the band, The Wailers Band put on a really good live show. Check them out if you can.

[Wake Up]

Emancipator
Sade

sounds of nature.

no, seriously.

[Thesleepingwell]

Al Stewart's 'Year Of The Cat' is recommended.

[spevin]

For real? I didn't know anoyone but me dug that record. Is it a UK thing?

[Thesleepingwell]

May well be. The title track gets a fair bit of airplay here (even though it's on either Capital or Radio 2).
I don't know if it gets much over there. Either way the album is awesome.

[Brand-new-123]

KP8y02ZUwho
This whole album.

Agreed. The title track is one of the best-produced songs I've ever heard. And "If It Doesn't Come Naturally, Leave It" is quite awesome.
