Sundays call for records you can sink into, sit back and switch off from the world; unhurried, warm and rewarding start to finish. Whether it's background listening or something that gets your full attention, these are the albums we keep reaching for when the pace slows down.
Arlo Parks - Collapsed In Sunbeams (2021)
Tender, relaxed and full of warmth, this is a record that never rushes you. Perfect for slow mornings, open windows and easing into the day without a plan.
Khruangbin - Ah La Sala (2024)
Groovy, beautiful and effortlessly chilled with melodies that drift and repeat in the best way. An ideal Sunday companion, whether it's on in the background or given your full attention.
Kruder & Dorfmeister - The K&D Sessions (1998)
A masterclass in acid jazz, trip-hop and downtempo reworks, all smoothed out to perfection. One of those rare albums that can soundtrack an entire afternoon without ever wearing out its welcome.
Bonobo - Black Sands (2010)
Chilled electronica woven together with global rhythms and subtle textures. Reflective and immersive, it rewards long listens when time feels less important.
Durand Jones & The Indications - Private Space (2021)
Upbeat, smooth and quietly sexy, with a modern soul feel that still sounds timeless. The kind of record that lifts the mood without breaking the calm... Perfect for a laid-back Sunday spin.
Finley Quaye - Maverick a Strike (1997)
A bright, sun-soaked record that feels like a summer Sunday afternoon. Upbeat yet relaxed, it's the kind of album that makes you want to stretch out, sip something cold, and let the grooves roll.
Ryo Fukui - Scenery (1976)
Pensive, rainy-day piano jazz that's as good for gentle procrastination as it is for focused productivity. Quiet, reflective and immersive, it's the kind of album you can let play while the world slows down around you.
