i’m not sure whether this is a common feeling, but october is one of my favorite months for listening to/discovering music! i associate the season with feelings of reflection & renewal (and if you’re anything like me, maybe a little too much of the former 🥴), and even though some of these picks might not cleanly align with your criteria, they still feel distinctly autumnal to me:
ml buch: flames shards goo
alex g: in my arms
big thief: the only place
modest mouse: talking shit about a pretty sunset
weyes blood: picture me better
bon iver: michicant
beth orton: pass in time
grouper: the way her hair falls
mojave 3: love songs on the radio
elliott smith: everything reminds me of her
happy (or rather, melancholic?) listening!!

It has a dreamy and etheral sound to it, sometimes a bit melancholic but very comforting (like the bittersweet feeling of watching leaves fall) . The singer has a very warm and fragile voice. Maybe because the band is from Canada they have this connection to the cold and you can almost feel the crispiness of the cold air. Defenitely give "full circle", the first song on the album a listen <3 Every year, it turns out to be my go to autumn album.

the afternoon shadows are getting longer and the nights are getting cooler and my music taste is starting to turn toward grunge just like it does every fall

cartoonishly gory and melodramatic it may be, i have found a lot of catharsis in living vicariously through araki‘s articulation of queer angst, and how life in rural america can literally feel like stepping into hell itself; if you like irreverent protagonists and seeing bodily harm done to nazis, it’s a must ^_^

so far, turning 24 has brought with it the sobering realization that my life won’t simply happen to me, and all the boring, healthy, ritualistic sh*t—once seeming like baseless naïveté spouted unanimously by people who had this epiphany far sooner than i—actually works. so far, 24 has been about catching up to the me that i wanted to be by now, and giving myself grace for keeping her waiting.
that baboon from bojack horseman might’ve been onto something. it does get a little easier, on the condition that you keep trying. i’m gonna go make some tea

depending on the day of the week, (usually a random wednesday on which i feel the more ravenously coveted releases of SAW vol. 1&2 can be overlong and at times unwieldy), drukqs is to me the most evocative distillation of aphex’s predilection for acid-break brutalizations and madcap sonic textures.
it is, somehow, one of the albums i return to most and yet one of the last i’d ever recommend to a sane individual — and ironically, one of the worst to listen to while stoned. i can’t vouch for it enough
