Podcast you can listen to while working | #DailyBlink48
1. Akiko Kiyama
Akiko Kiyama’s music falls into the genre of electronic and industrial. The songs rarely have lyrics and are perfect for putting on in the background while doing deep work. Links: Spotify, SoundCloud, YouTube | Website
2. Pixl
For more electronic music, try Pixl. Pixl has lyrics more often than Akiko but is still great for background music while doing creative work. Links: Spotify, SoundCloud, YouTube | Website
3. Bassnectar
While also electronic, Bassnectar is pretty lyric heavy. It’s a good one for those repetitive tasks that we mentioned in Tuesday’s newsletter. Links: Spotify, SoundCloud, YouTube | Website
4. Balmorhea
For you pop-rock people out there, try Balmorhea. There are lyrics sometimes and the pop-y nature can be a bit distracting, but it’s another one that can help you knock out those middle of the ground tasks. Links: Spotify, SoundCloud, YouTube | Website
5. The Echelon Effect
The Echelon Effect is one of our favorites for deep work. With almost no lyrics, this ambient soundscape is the perfect distraction-free vibe. Links: Spotify, SoundCloud, YouTube | Website
6. Wynton Marsalis
For classical fans, try Wynton Marsalis. His music is mostly instrumental but with a jazzy, orchestral feel. Links: Spotify, SoundCloud, YouTube | Website
7. Wess Meets West
Similar to The Echelon Effect, Wess Meets West is an electronic, soundscape style music good for tuning out and zoning in. Links: Spotify, SoundCloud, YouTube | Website
8. DeVotchKa
If you have repetitive tasks that need to be completed, things like filing, uploading files, or crunching numbers, DeVotchKa, an indie-folk band, is a good one to help pass the time. Links: Spotify, SoundCloud, YouTube | Website
9. Color Theory
Classified as synthpop and electronic, Color Theory is another one that’s good background noise while doing repetitive work. Links: Spotify, SoundCloud, YouTube | Website
10. Beatuzic
Paino Covers of some of the popular music of all time. Most of them are my personal favorite. I prefer them when working on designs and UI/UX stuffs. It helps me focus without any distractions. Links: YouTube
11. Crystal Castles
Crystal Castles has an experimental electronic sound with few lyrics. It’s one that helps us crush emails. (Forever on the epic quest to Inbox 0!) Links: Spotify, SoundCloud, YouTube | Website
12. andhim
Finally to close out the list: andhim, another electronic band that we enjoy. We listen to this duo for pretty much any type of work, repetitive and creative. Links: Spotify, SoundCloud, YouTube | Website
