    Childish Gambino - Camp

    Not too distracting and goes well in the background for me, also if you kind of like RnB,

    The Weeknd - House of Baloons, Its a free album anyway and I love it.

    This is my maths core 4 music

    My desk is next to my curtain so I close them and I structure my revision 50 minutes on 10 minutes break etc and in my 10 minutes break I start punching the curtains while listening to eye of the tiger while jumping around.

    One of my favourite artists is Tycho. He makes ambient music and it's really chilled out, easy going music. Definitely check his stuff out -

    I know it's very old fashioned but I generally listen to classical music while working. As there are no lyrics, I don't lose my concentration and I'm not tempted to sing or dance haha !

    Trifonic
    Eels
    Mogwai
    Swallow the Sun
    Anything which isn't too catchy but is nice to have in the background.

    Though I was listening to Run DMC - Tricky yesterday and no revision was done

    I have a different album for each subject, on the morning of the exam \I listen to the whole album. It's probably bull**** but I like to think it helps.

    At the moment it's White Lies - To Lose My Life, and English lit.
