By Joanna C. Valente

Here’s some music, new and old, you should listen to and check out:

Angus & Julia Stone - Down the Way

This brother and sister duo’s album from 2010 is a folk dream that will bring you into a sweet, calm world, even if just for a moment. My favorite: “Santa Monica Dream.”

Wilco - Summerteeth

Wilco is an old favorite of mine and I always go back to their 1999 album when I need to just chill and relax. My favorite: “How to Fight Loneliness.”
