English term or phrase: dinner party music
'Dreams' is possibly the perfect title for this album of subtleties, folk-esque guitars and sublime melodies. WBA are a little like the Norah Jones of the alternative world; dinner party music but with substance, feeling and talent. Taking another step away from the acoustic 'Kings of Convenience' and a far cry from his electronic solo debut '?ye' has stripped down to one guitar, one bass, drums and vocals being the focal point of all the music.

Explanation:
the idea of dinner party music is that it's very pleasant, and you don't have to listen to it attentively: it can just play in the background and be enjoyed all the same.
