Autumn music.
So, we're OFFICIALLY in Autumn and all the trees are dying...and shit. What music seems to fit in with the seasonal change for you?
For me:
Magnolia Electric Co.
Neil Young
First Beirut record
Sonic Youth - Murray Street
Jack Rose
Red House Painters - Songs For A Blue Guitar
Idaho - This Way Out <-- *WINNER*
Joanna Newsom - Ys.
Nina Nastasia - The Blackened Air
I can't recommend Idaho enough
I have been listening to this album for over a decade. It's so lovely. Why are they not massive?
I always think Idaho
are going to be a bit wishy-washy. I'm not entirely sure what I'm basing this on. Tell me I'm wrong?
Idaho
I prefer Year After Year, I think This Way Out is a bit weak. I'm not the biggest Idaho fan though so this is probably against consensus. I much prefer RHP if I want "that sort of thing".
Elliott Smith - Either/Or
One particular song by Pulp
seems very autumnal to me- 'Trees'.
Catchers - mute
I could listen to 'song for autumn' all day !
Kingsbury Manx
First two albums. They practically smell of fallen leaves.
^ this
last time there was an autumn music thread no one mentioned them...but you have so you win
when Jamie_Summers did this thread recently
he got it completely spot on
XTC - Skylarking
.
Mineral
The Microphones
Joanna Newsom
The Van Pelt
Magnolia Electric Co.
What a fantastic choice.
Bonnie "Prince" Billy too. Particularly Ease Down The Road and Master & Everyone.
Finland's finest
Autumn is very much associated with trees, for obvious reason. I've forgotten the specific fact, but hasn't Finland got 80% tree coverage? What do you get when you marry the two:
Islaja - Ulual YYY
Kemialliset Ystävät - s/t
...and Slaraffenland - Private Cinema is Danish and more of a winter record but makes the ideal overlap record.

November by Azure Ray
I'm not a fan of their other stuff so much, but I put this EP on the other day and it just worked perfectly.
Maybe I'm just letting the title get the better of my imagination though.
I'm with you on murray street.
Slowdive - Souvlaki
I haven't this fall
(we call autumn, fall) but methinks the Cure's 17 Seconds and Faith would go nicely against the trees outside losing their leaves.
It's not really fall weather in SoCal. In fact, it's hot and half of everything is still on fire...so maybe I should stop now.
