Good mellow music

[Mamba]

I've been looking for more artists to load up onto my iPod for when I'm doing school work or writing a paper. I'm looking for acoustic rock, slower paced, or artists who use a lot of piano in their music.

To give you guys some help to what I've got on the playlist already: Jack Johnson, Aaron Lewis, Mat Kearney, Matt Costas, Damien Rice...

Early Everything But The Girl (through Amplified Heart). Elvis Costello's and Burt Bacharach's duo album is also excellent. For super mellow, try David Wilcox.

I always used to study to Blockhead's Music By Cavelight. Instrumental Hip Hop..not sure what exact genre it'd fit though. According to Wikipedia its trip hop. A lot of DJ Shadow is good to study to as well. Same vibe as the first.

That is exactly what I'm lookin' for!

This isn't ambient like 'The Grace' but this is a laid back song, too.

I'd recommend Air France. It's more about evoking moods than about active processing of lyrics, so I think it makes very good background music when doing other things.

you need to get some good chillaxed .nz music in your life

most of these are a little cliche now here, but for a first time listener its a good place to start

more dub, light reggae, horns, laxed stuff enjoy - these songs just remind me of summer, beaches, friends + drinking
