The "Totally Stress Free" playlist is like a sonic hug for anyone looking to escape the clamor of daily life and sink into a more serene state of mind. Kicking things off with Wilco’s “Love Is Everywhere (Beware),” it sets a vibe that’s both reflective and optimistic. Hozier and Illiterate Light follow suit, offering melodies that feel like a warm breeze through an open window. This playlist isn’t just about calm, though; it’s about the various shades of chill. From the introspective storytelling of Noah Kahan’s “Stick Season” to the laid-back grooves of The Shins’ remastered “New Slang,” every track is chosen for its ability to soothe and uplift.

As the playlist unfolds with the likes of Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats and the collaborative charm of Margo Price and Sharon Van Etten, it feels like a road trip through scenic backroads, where every song is a different landmark of chill vibes. The collection spans a spectrum from indie folk to mellow rock, tied together by an underlying theme of effortless cool. Hits like “Brighter Day” by Michael Franti & Spearhead and “BRIGHTSIDE” by The Lumineers inject a dose of sunshine, while quieter moments with songs like “And It’s Still Alright” by Nathaniel Rateliff present introspection wrapped in melodic comfort. Whether it's for background music during a lazy Sunday or the soundtrack for a stress-free drive, this playlist has got it covered.
