Good Work Albums

I love listening to music while I work at the library, but I usually can't listen to stuff with lyrics while I'm focusing. So, those two aims converging, being able to listen to music while I work has opened my world to some amazing instrumental albums. These are some of my favourites, but I will continue to add to this list as I find them. Links are to their Bandcamp pages.

  1. Charles 'Poppy Bob' Walker

    Acoustic. Gentle. Twangy and lo-fi. Ample tape hiss and other distant background sounds make for an ethereal listen.

  2. Daphni

    Just straight up dance music. Very energetic and diverse. Caribou's dancier alter-ego.

  3. Angine de Poitrine

    Groovy. Technical. Rock'n'roll as hell. From Québec!!! Start your day with this one.

  4. Caribou

    Upbeat. Dance-y. Some lyrics but nothing distracting. Caribou is a Canadian treasure.

  5. Rhythmic. A medium level of energy. Lots of xylophone-y sounds and wind instruments.

  6. Le Grand Partir

    Jazzy. A little rock and roll.

  7. Sonitus Missarum

    Heavy. Experimental. A little jazzy. Dissonant.
