Mellow music?

I'm looking for some music I can just relax to. I also enjoy listening to mellow music while I go on night walks sometimes, even though that slot is usually filled by CreepyPasta story narrations.

Stuff like:

Iron & Wine
Gregory Alan Isakov
Bon Iver

Thanks in advance!

    Woven Hand - can't recommend them highly enough. Good starter albums are the self-titled and Mosaic.
    16 Horsepower if you want to go more folky. Same singer as Woven Hand.
    Antony & the Johnsons - go listen to Antony's cover of Leonard Cohen's 'If It Be Your Will' right now. It's amazing
    Richard Hawley - the Coles Corner album is fantastic
    Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds albums The Boatman's Call and No More Shall We Part

    Also if you don't have the Iron & Wine & Calexico collaboration album get it. It's soooo good.

    lot of Ben Folds stuff is like that. "Smoke" is probably my favorite thing he ever did.

    Ben Folds is my lord and savior.

    Does Tool count? I like to think they're pretty mellow. Or A Pefect Circle.

    ALSO, I don't know how many of you are familiar with Ulver, but my favorite piece from them is Not Saved. It's a 10 minute song that is as beautiful as it is dark. They were once a black metal band but evolved to dark ambient. If you've seen the Sinister movies, you've heard them. During the home movie kill films.

    +1 for the Ulver mention. Also loved Arcturus, and still kind of do, but their phase that I really enjoyed only lasted for a single album (The Sham Mirrors, the last one with Garm). Since Simen got into the band, the weirdness just went...too weird to listen to on the regular.

    ETA: I just realized I haven't heard an Ulver album all the way through since Themes from William Blake's The Marriage of Heaven and Hell. Jesus, I have almost 20 years of catching up to do.
