Whether you may be studying, hanging out with some friends, relaxing by yourself, or taking a walk, having some chill music on in the background always seems to make the experience better. If you are looking for new artists to listen to, look no further than these five musicians!
1. Marian Hill
If you're looking for a music selection that's a bit off the wall but incredibly enticing, look no further than Marian Hill. The artist infuses techno beats, improvisational jazz, and intriguing vocals to create an innovative and memorable musical experience for listeners. She is relatively new to the scene, as she released her first album in 2015, but I can't wait to see what she releases in the future as she grows as a musician.
Native to Minneapolis, John Mark Nelson encompasses the kind of talent that greatly represents the music industry in the Twin Cities. In 2011, at just 17 years old, he released his first album and has since released three more. His indie, folk style is incredibly easy and enjoyable to listen to. Whether you may be hanging out with a few friends or taking a walk by yourself, putting on one of this artist's albums will definitely improve the experience.
Father John Misty paints beautiful and haunting narratives through his music. His rich vocals combined with electronic beats and complex orchestrations create a memorable listening experience. Putting one of his albums on almost guarantees a successful study session.
4. James Blake
James Blake is an English songwriter, musician and producer from London. His music is truly unique and incredibly enticing. The artist pulls inspiration from contemporary R&B, gospel, soul and ambient music, and uses an electronic approach, along with incredible vocals, to tie it together. He has released three albums in the last five years and received a Grammy nomination in 2014 for Best New Artist.
5. Tame Impala
Hailing from Australia, Tame Impala is a psychedelic rock band founded by Kevin Parker. The band is known for combining influences from psychedelic rock and electronic music with various production methods to create a unique sound. Parker creates his music in a studio by himself because of his affinity for "the kind of music that is the result of one person constructing an awesome symphony of sound. You can layer your own voice 700 times for half a second if you want, and I just love that kind of music."
