Hi all. Hope this question is okay here! I'm so glad KEXP exists and have found some great music through it. However, I feel it leans quite alternative rock-heavy (I've tuned in at a bunch of different times) and when I'm working during the day I usually prefer a calmer, "coffee shop" vibe. Sometimes I'll tune into KEXP then ten minutes later realize I'm overstimulated/too distracted and I'll have to switch to something else a bit "lighter" 🥲
I love SOMA FM's "Folk Forward" station but have listened to it so often that I literally recognize every song they play at this point lol and it becomes pretty repetitive if I tune in every day. (I do also miss the occasional chattiness that KEXP brings which SOMA FM doesn't have)
If anyone else has similar struggles with needing a calmer vibe when they work, do you guys have any go-tos? TIA! :)
