With relaxed, mellowed out tunes that possess just enough flare to keep you awake and calm, the studying should begin to take care of itself.
Up Records
DON'T TO SPILL
"Else"
Album: "Keep It Like A Secret"
"Else" is a song that will keep a steady pace as you study for your upcoming tests this final week. Off of the 1991 album, "Keep It Like A Secret," Built to Spill's sounds will be sure to fit on the mood on those late nights in your room or the library this week.
Secret Built to Spill delivers some of the most comforting and relaxing music that has been offered in alternative music since the 1990s.
Captured Tracks
BEACH FOSSILS
"Adversity"
Album: "What A
Pleasure"
"Adversity" is a track off of Beach Fossils' 2011 release "What A Pleasure." With mild, reverberating vocals and a slight echo on the guitar, this track is one
guitar and treble clef.
that will keep you in the mood, but not distract. A
well-fitted bass-line streaming along with simple, melodiously picked guitar solos makes this track a great one for getting work done.
Burnt Toast Vinyl
UNWED SAILOR — "Echo Roads"
Album: "Little Wars"
One of the more upbeat tracks on this set of songs, "Echo Roads"
will kick you into high gear when you think that you might be losing steam. This song is an intensely up-roaring
instrumental track, and has a great tone to it as well. It might even put a smile on your face as you listen to it, but it is sure to keep your spirits up through these final days of the semester.
Spunk Records
THE MIDDLE EAST — "Land of the Bloody Unknown"
Album: "I Want That You Are Always Happy"
The Middle East, an Australian band that has been making music since
2005. is another catchy,
somewhat poppy track that has the ability to improve a study environment. Off of the album "I Want That You Are Always Happy," "Land of the Bloody Unknown" is full of the complex — yet still minimal
— sound that defines indie music as many people have come to know it today.

BLINK 182 —
"Carousel"
Album "Cheshire Cat"
"Carousel" is a Blink
182 classic from the
early days of Tom
Delonge and Mark
Hoppus' continuously
growing work of music.
Off of one of their first
albums, "Cheshire Cat,"
the song begins with
a commonly-recognized bass solo that leads into a well composed song with lyrics that deal with what it is like to be a young adult. Recorded with their original drummer, Scott Raynor, who the band had before acquiring Travis Barker to record with the band ever since the band's 1999 release, "Enema of the State," the song might bring back memories to long-time Blink 182 fans, and it might also be one that students can add to their new favorites.
Matador Records
GUMENT — "Gold Soundz"
Album: "Crooked Rain,
Crooked Rain"
Pavement is yet another band that ruled the 1990s. "Gold Soundz" is just an ideal feel good song, complete with clear, precise vocals, and full utilization of
innovative alternative sounds. The song, literally, does have a golden sound to it. Formed in 1989, the band's sound resembles the likes of other 90s groups such as Sonic Youth. "Gold Soundz" is a recommended listen for anytime, anywhere.
