Sylvan Esso- kind of like the xx but more up tempo and fun

Brick + Mortar- kinda like bass and drums meets grungy indie rock

Blind Pilot- compelling indie folk

  A white water wash of unwanted, stuck-together thoughts crash into each other constantly crash into me certainly 
  and it feels all day (better stop by the store later for toilet paper oh and ) as though there really is no safe way (I hope
  I didn't embarrass myself earlier with-) to put a stop to the cacophonous, (John, Christ what was I thinking?) discordant  
  chorus of one thousand (I've got to make sure I get my notes together before-) different voices all too preoccupied with 
  (that midterm, and I-) what is gone and what is coming to (wonder if Emily would be willing to-) take a moment and

  Hush.
  Breathe through
  Your nose and feel
  Your breath move past the
  Sensitive tips of your
  Nostrils and over
  The fine hairs
  Of your
  Lip.

  Feel
  Each thought
  As it bursts into
  Your brain, but step
  Back, observe it, dry,
  And then just let
  The thought
  Go. 

  Enjoy for one brief moment,
  Or maybe two,
  The power of hush.
