[Chic BGM] A Curated Selection of Stylish Classics to Color Your Everyday Life (21–30)

Eple (Edit)Röyksopp

Speaking of Röyksopp, they’re a familiar name—especially to anyone with a soft spot for the electronica scene of the 2000s.

The Norwegian duo’s sound blends a distinctly Nordic, cool-textured electronica-to-ambient feel with synth-pop elements reminiscent of Depeche Mode and New Order.

The track introduced here is a single from their acclaimed 2001 album Melody A.M., and stands as one of their signature early numbers.

Its colorful electronic palette and striking electric piano tones make it irresistibly catchy.

If you’re curious, this is the perfect first song to start with.

New FictionLittle Dragon

A four-piece Swedish band fronted by Japanese-Swedish vocalist Yukimi Nagano.

Their activities have earned them worldwide popularity and recognition, not only in their home country but also through Grammy nominations and collaborations with many major artists.

This track is included on their album “New Me, Same Us,” released in March 2020, by a group that now reigns as one of Sweden’s leading bands.

Yukimi’s instantly recognizable, mysterious voice floats through the space, while a genre-defying sound world built with live instruments invites listeners into a dreamlike realm.

Be sure to check out the message in the lyrics as well, perhaps with a Japanese translation.

Spring Is HereBill Evans

Spring Is Here (Album Version)
Spring Is HereBill Evans

Like weaving pale light, the delicate tones spun from the piano by American pianist Bill Evans sink deep into the heart.

Recorded in New York in December 1959 and included on the album “Portrait in Jazz,” this piece beautifully captures both the joy of spring’s arrival and the fragile feelings that, for some reason, keep one from embracing that joy straightforwardly.

The conversational interplay of Scott LaFaro’s bass and Paul Motian’s drums renders loneliness and the pain of heartbreak with even greater depth.

It’s a track to savor in a quiet room at the turn of the seasons, when spring’s light and shadow intersect.

A gem of a performance recommended for those who wish to touch the subtleties of life.

Midnight In A Perfect WorldDj Shadow

Midnight In A Perfect WorldDj Shadow

A pioneering figure in the genres known as trip-hop and abstract hip-hop—and a renowned hardcore record collector—DJ Shadow has continued to exert a profound influence on later musicians through his turntable- and sampler-driven methods.

This track appears on his first solo album, the historic masterpiece Endtroducing released in 1996.

Melancholy-tinged vocal samples, a hard-hitting drum beat, and weighty strings coalesce in perfect balance, forming a piece of music that is both deeply melancholic and exquisitely beautiful.

An immortal classic that never fades with time, offering fresh discoveries every time you listen.

The SeaMorcheeba

A UK band featuring the lone female vocalist Skye Edwards, with the peculiar, distinctive name “Morcheeba.” Their 1996 debut album, Who Can You Trust?, was hailed alongside the likes of Portishead, with their live-band trip-hop sound earning high praise.

From the 2000s onward, they would go on to develop a sound that transcended the boundaries of trip-hop, but here I’ll introduce the opening track from their second album, Big Calm, released in 1998.

Centered on the airy, floating trip-hop characteristic of their early period, the deftly arranged ensemble of live instruments carries a touch of psychedelia, while the languid vocals draw the listener into another world.
