winter listenings

it's absolutely freezing in my house recently and it really feels like winter is arriving now, and i got thinking about what i'll be listening to the winter - my staple listens are usually Owen and American Football (along with the other Kinsella and post-Cap'n Jazz bands) and lots and lots of post-rock (Mogwai in particular makes for an incredible winter listen I find).

what do you guys like to listen to at this (or, the soon-to-be) type of year?

I usually only listen to Music Has the Right to Children and drukqs in the wintertime; not that i hold out until then but fall/winter was when i was introduced to each work several years ago.

other than that, opeth comes to mind...

tango n vectif

ylc was really good my first winter at watmm

Slightly unrelated, but appreciate not being in the hell-that-california-has-been over the last few days. Record breaking temperatures on Monday, it was mo'fucking 112 degrees here. Too hot to function, much less care about schoolwork at all

I want cold. *sweats more*

Utterly predictable I'm afraid, but I might dust off a bit of BoC. Bibio's Vignetting The Compost might work as well.

the accidental comma in this post is killing me... fuck editing time cut-offs.

i've also just noticed how perfect mrs jynx's shark carousel is for the cold times of the year. very beautiful.

Echospace - The Coldest Season

Fittingly I find that a great wintertime album.

There's a lot others for me, as the winter here in Finland is a long one.

Two records that aren't particularly frosty or wintry, but with which I had great times last winter:

Yagya - Rigning. Always fresh like the virgin snow of a January landscape.

Maeror Tri - Myein. Heart-wrenchingly sad music for the dark and lonely hours that are plenty.

I agree for Biosphere and Echospace, they make cool winter music.

I don't actually have a winter type music that I listen too more. Except for at work the radio always plays fucking Christmas songs from the start of October.

I might re-listen to as much Miles Davis as I can soon though. Also Sonny Rollins cause I'm seeing him in November.

Time to bust out the ambient and the down tempo/ lo fi shit , son .

I typically would listen to music that fits my mood, and in the winter I can be often depressed. I'M TURNING THAT SHIT AROUND THIS YEAR!!! Even in the summer when the weather makes me happy, I can easily feel down. So I started to take music less seriously and listen to more fun stuff, which has helped. I have to keep that up in the winter months.

Nothing specific planned. Just saying I HOPE I don't listen to too much wintery stuff.

found this vinyl in second hand shop this year.. one of my fave xmas albums.

Probably some Aphex Twin and Autechre. Maybe some Boards of Canada. Definitely some µ-Ziq and Cylob. Probably round it out with some Plaid and Squarepusher.

Looking forward to play some ambient stuff during those long dark nights here in Sweden.

i dont know about winter yet but fall is a favorite of mine. so far i have been listening to a lot of this witch house/drag stuff like salem, white ring and oOoOO. also the avery tare solo record comes out around halloween and i expect that to be time consuming.

paysage d'hiver

hey wow that's awesome, i also listen to tons of 90s/early 00s emo in the winter, generally. american football, joan of arc, christie front drive, the get up kids (but only their first LP,) stuff like that.
