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...

 

I agree Boards of Canada are perfect for winter listening, especially Trans Canada Highway.

 

I totally agree with opeth too, the starkness of Blackwater Park or Watershed perhaps?
