[Salone]

Things that have easily understood, slightly slower paced lyrics are usually my thing.

Metric's Plug in, Plug Out album is a good one, very calming.

Louis XIV is generally a good one, although if you're just sampling I suggest 'A Letter to Dominique' and 'Hopesick', although the latter lends itself to some melancholy.

Any of the old Glen Campbell stuff, if you can stand country back before it was beer and trucks and that weird honky tonk accent.

And finally, Marcy Playground's self titled album is a fairly decent trip if you just want to space out for a while. If you're only giving one song a chance, I suggest Vampires of New York.
