I’ve been working a lot lately, and I came across some really cool, different music using Pandora’s free streaming service. These songs are all on my iTunes “Work” playlist, but I’ve included (affiliate) links here for your ease (and my benefit…). I hope this post will be something that keeps growing, and you’re welcome and encouraged to include your own “working tunes” in the comments section.
1. Paper Route – Are We All Forgotten. This album has been on repeat for a few days now; it has a Postal Service flair to it mixed with a vocalist that sounds a bit like the singer for Kings of Leon. Check out the songs You Kill Me, Carousel, and the title track Are We All Forgotten.
2. Shiny Toy Soldiers – Season of Poison. If you don’t check out anything else on this list, download this one. These guys (and girl, it sounds like), have been around for awhile, and they have a really cool ambient/hard rock/chemical sound with some rap and nice textures thrown in.
3. Styrofoam – The Point Misser. This group is a bit weird, but they have a trance-like synth background during most of their songs, and an electronica/club beat going on in the ones I’ve downloaded. Try out Word Spoken, Future Debt Collector, and It What the Earth He Was Standing On That Was Moving.
4. Athlete – Tourist. Great guitars, great melodies, and overall great sound. A little like Oasis without the thick obnoxiousness, this is a group from the UK that has definitely been around the block a few times. Check out Chances, Wires, and If I Found Out.
5. 
Owl City – Ocean Eyes. Okay, okay. I know you’ve all heard Fireflies a million times already, but for a dude alone in his basement, the quality and musicianship doesn’t get any better than this! If you’re too tired of the main songs by now, try out Vanilla Twilight and Tidal Wave.
Are there others you’d like to add to this list? If so, leave a comment below and I’ll check it out! Now, back to work!
