What are your super stress busting tracks?
Posted by Shitelark@reddit | AskUK | View on Reddit | 5 comments
Got home from work feeling particularly stressed and needed to listen to something cathartic right now. I've lately been listening to the latest Crowded House album and the track 'Howl' is very epic and seemed of the moment.
Also listened to Gomez - Free To Run, and Gorillaz - Don't Get Lost in Heaven/Demon Days. If you get the vibe. When the world seems to have gone crazy what do you listen to?

Another gorillaz song, Dare. It always perks me up - I'm not sure why, I think it just feels fun and energetic.
Someone else mentioned Fat Freddy's Drop and I agree, they make beautiful, technically-skilled music that makes your mind happy just by being on in the background. I find Ben harper and Jack Johnson quite similar.
There's a group called Little People and they make what I'd call a cross between instrumental and electronic music. No singing or words, just intricate and detailed melodies with lots going on in different levels of the sound. My favorite of their songs is called Moon. It doesn't sound "happy" at all, but it's beautiful and satisfying musically and that can help calm the chaos going on in my mind sometimes

Very much personally to me, Detox by Strapping Young Lad (very loud though headphones ideally), it sounds like a wall of noise but the more you listen the more subtleties you hear. That or All of Three Lights by Kanye (also loud on headphones), there's so so much going on I just get lost in it
