I feel like a falling leaf when I listen to this.
REM- Fables of the Reconstruction
Any Velvet Underground album works, but this is my fall favorite.
The Velvet Underground- Unloaded
What a masterpiece. I revisit her weekly when the weather gets cold.
The Sundays- Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic
Eclectic, transcendent, perfect.
Lush- Topolino
Makes my heart (and mouth) sing.
The Growlers- Chinese Fountain
A perfect indie pick-me-up.
Broadcast- Work and Non Work
This indie rock classic definitely stands the test of time.
The Stone Roses- The Stone Roses (LP)
I can't get off the couch when this EP plays.
Dreamgirl- Illuminaughty EP
This EP may or may not have changed my life.
boygenius- boygenius EP
My favorite Beach House record, and a nice sink-into-the-bed-during-autumn pick.
Beach House- Myth
Maybe a tinge depressing, but certainly the most autumnal Blur album.
Blur- Blur
Me vs. putting every Elliott Smith album ever made on this list…
Elliott Smith- Roman Candle
Summer is, in fact, over.
TV Girl & Jordana- Summer's Over
This album INVENTED the season of fall. Unanimously the most fall-pilled album ever.
The Cranberries - Everybody Else Is Doing It
Fiona Apple is for every season, but she thrives in the fall.
Fiona Apple- Fetch the Bolt Cutters
Conor and Phoebe need to come back and restore harmony this autumn.
Better Oblivion Community Center- Better Oblivion Community Center
I could not live without this masterpiece.
Slowdive- Souvlaki
Had to toss a Mitski record onto this list. Sorry if you start crying.
Mitski- Puberty 2
