You

If anyone else has had a somewhat traumatizing Monday after this weekend (hello, bender).. I can only hope that this song will soothe your soul as much as it has mine. To me it feels kind of like Bon Iver's vocals but Fleet Foxes rhythms/acoustics with electronic elements awesomely swirled in, which brings us to who it actually is: Kyson. His album A Book of Flying will be out April 1, but for now I'm just going to listen to this beautiful track on repeat as I wind down this evening.

Hightimes

It's funny when I haven't seen work from someone in awhile I find myself wondering if it's just another new group.. but no, I knew The Big Pink looked familiar. I have a few songs of theirs from about 5 years ago like "Dominos" and "Velvet." Their latest "Hightimes" continues their previous vibes in the best sense. I love the slow vocals in their songs; they give you enough time to process and really think about the music. A perfect track to unwind to, listen here:

Tip Pit

So I first heard this song as I was dozing off on the train (daily routine, etc.) and it was just perfect for that soothing vibe I was seeking. The vocals reminded me a bit of Passion Pit but I love the contrasting slow and dreamy instrumentals! I really love the line "'Cuz what I really want and what I really need is something that'll make me feel good" because uh, yeah, same. Super chill, good vibes ahead.

Y//2//K

If you're looking for some good slow Sunday tracks to not get out of bed to, Y//2//K has got you more than covered. (I'm pretty sure it's just one guy, but I can't find one definitive bio.) Of course, Band Of Horses' "The Funeral" is slow enough by itself, but imagine it even slower... and sadder... Y//2//K nailed it, especially with all the added hip hop trills in there.

Even though I personally prefer red, this version of white wine isn't too shabby. Check it out:

Y//2//K - White Wine ft. Mark Johns



This might be my favorite... I love reflecting on Waka Flocka's super deep and meaningful lyrics, and this slowed down version is really perfect for that. In all seriousness, like who comes up with this? Yes, but no, but yes...

Y//2//K - there are things you can't forget



**Bonus: yeah, he did a remix of that Sophia Grace song, and I will admit to liking it.
