King and Cross by Ásgeir

Recommended by Skye

"It was a little tiny bit of an acquired taste, but it grew on me a lot. Infectious, uplifting harmony."

Ásgeir Trausti is an Icelandic artist who performs worldwide, both as a solo act as well as a guitarist in a band called The Lovely Lion.

It's pretty easy to pick up what this song is putting down. The melody is simple, but harmonies and vocal filters keep it interesting. The instrumental track behind it is nothing short of groovy.

This is the versatile kind of music that can keep me hyped for an early morning run, but it is also mellow enough to be accepted in a coffee shop. It gives some nice atmosphere to a casual get-together, but it also works for a low-key pregame.
