I'm always on the listen for chilled out background music to work to. My boss introduced me to Cigarettes After Sex, which coincidentally is also the name of a band.
Lovely to listen to, but it freaks me out that the lead singer is a bloke.

Fair enough but they really aren’t like that. Grove armada starts with A Tribe called Quest, then Barry White and later had Al Green covering the Doors Light my Fire etc...

I say this rarely Dave, but listen to Dinny because he's right.

Another album I'm playing to death right now is Sparkle Hard by Stephen Malkmus and The Jicks. It's one of those that you need to listen to a few times but it's awesome (assuming you like discordant shoe gaze)
Fvcking staggering. I'm trying not to jump to the conclusion that this is their greatest album yet. Which given they're the greatest band in the history of anything ever, is saying something. 7/7 time signatures, epic soundscape, tablas & polyrhythmic drumming, incredible vocals, truly heavy thundering basslines, crushing guitar work, twin guitar solos. 6 Tracks over 10mins, long incl one at 15mins, 127 minutes in total, including interludes and a 4.5min long drum solo track that's like something out of the film Whiplash.
And the production values are immense. Never have I listened to an album so loudly without the soundscape collapsing into a mess.
And for a bunch of old farts it looks like they're about to destroy Taylor Swift in the album charts.
This is probably my favourite track - I nearly stopped dead at first listen, but I was doing 70 on a d/c at the time
