Fall is my favorite season. The crispy leaves, the warm colors, pumpkin flavored everything, fall sports, the return of sweater weather. There’s nothing like the feeling of a cozy autumn day. To ring in the new season, here are some albums to get you in the fall spirit.

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot (2022 Remaster) by Wilco 

Dad rock is cool! Here it is at its finest. This album is cozy and acoustic with wise lyrics. Perfect for fall drives and rainy days. 

You Don’t Own Me Anymore by The Secret Sisters

This album is country mixed with folk and has an almost spooky sound. This female duo showcases beautiful harmonies and blues chords in this album. “He’s Fine” and “Mississippi” are noteworthy tracks that will make you fall in love with life.

Wasteland, Baby! by Hozier

Hozier is known for his distinctive voice and catchy melodies, and this album is no exception. With smooth lyrics and crashing guitar, bass, and vocals, this album is near perfection. Its woodsy vibe somehow captures the feeling of watching leaves turn from green to red as autumn rolls in. If you like this one, check out Hozier’s newest release, Unreal Unearth.

Stick Season by Noah Kahan

Is it safe to say that Noah is blowing up right now? It’s well deserved attention because his newest album is full of country, folky hits. Each song has a tender and heartfelt meaning and evokes feelings of being in the woods surrounded by the solitude of nature.

Stranger in the Alps by Phoebe Bridgers

This album needs no introduction, I daresay it’s a classic. Songs like “Motion Sickness” and “Georgia” define this album as top tier. With her somber melodies and gut-wrenching lyrics, Phoebe Bridgers makes listeners feel all the feels with this album. Its cozy, melancholic vibes make this album perfect for autumn.
