Summer\u2019s tyranny is finally coming to an end. I don\u2019t know about you, but those of us in Nebraska \u2014 or at least the eastern part of it \u2014 have been blessed with the most perfect sort of weather: temperatures in the 60s and 70s, slightly overcast skies with hints of rain, and a slight chill in the air that hints at trees ablaze with color, the smell of fireplaces, and the most beautiful sunsets you can imagine. Yes, autumn is on its way, and it\u2019s enough to make a introvert like myself do a somersault or two of joy.<\/p>\n

So to celebrate this most glorious of seasons, I\u2019ve put together a playlist of some of my favorite autumnal albums. Many of these lean towards the more atmospheric and melancholy ends of the musical and emotional spectrum, which I find makes for perfect music whether you\u2019re strolling down a leaf-strewn sidewalk in the twilight or peering out the window at the blustery weather outside whilst sipping your beverage of choice.<\/p>\n

Epic45 \u2013 May Your Heart Be The Map<\/em> (2007, Make Mine Music)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Epic45<\/a> is the project of Ben Holton and Rob Glover, two childhood friends from Wheaton Aston, Staffordshire, England. The duo\u2019s music bridges the gap between bedroom electronica, post-rock, shoegazer, and ambient music, and is usually built around shimmering guitars, subtle electronics and programming, and the fellows\u2019 hushed vocals. The result is an ephemeral, hazy brand of music that\u2019s the perfect listening material for watching the sun set against the clear blue September sky. Adding to the emotional heft are the duo\u2019s lyrics, which usually concern themselves with childhood memories, youthful nostalgia, and homesickness \u2014 or, to borrow a term from C.S. Lewis, sehnsucht<\/em>.<\/p>\n

May Your Heart Be The Map<\/em> is their most recent album, and their most fully-realized work to date. There are moments when the songs get a little too fey and slight for their own good, but it\u2019s difficult to not be entranced by such songs as \u201cThe Stars in Spring\u201d (here, gently picked acoustic guitars gracefully waltz with drum machines and beautiful, heartbreaking drones) and \u201cSummers First Breath\u201d (which finds the band musing \u201cChurch bells over fields\/And hope in our heavy hearts\/Don\u2019t just sit there, look outside\/Leave the house far behind\/This world\u2019s a mess\/We\u2019ll stumble through\/Windswept and weatherworn\/So much to do\u201d).<\/p>\n

<\/iframe><\/p>\nJuly Skies \u2013 Dreaming Of Spires<\/em> (2002, Rocket Girl)<\/strong><\/p>\nIf you\u2019re talking about Epic45, it\u2019s only a matter of time before you start talking about <a href=\"http:\/\/www.julyskies.com\/\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">July Skies<\/a>. Antony Harding, the main person behind July Skies, has often collaborated with the Epic45 fellows, and they in turn, have often appeared on July Skies albums, performed in concert with Harding, and remixed his work. July Skies tends to be more atmospherically minded than Epic45 \u2014 think Slowdive by way of The Durutti Column \u2014 and if Epic45 waxes nostalgic, July Skies does so even more.<\/p>\nAmong other things, the July Skies website mentions, as influences, fractured memories of the 1970\u2019s, abandoned airfields, endless childhood summers, dappled sunlight through leaves, post-war Britain, and 1960\u2019s artwork by Harry Wingfield.\u00a0It all sounds rather pretentious and navel-gazey, but Harding\u2019s music is full of grace and poignancy, due in part to his fluid, effects-drenched guitar-playing and wistful vocals.<\/p>\nHarding has released several excellent albums, as well as a two-disc compilation, but you might as well start at the beginning. Dreaming Of Spires<\/em> is Harding\u2019s debut full-length, and is chock-full of songs and compositions that literally drip with nostalgia. Lyrically, don\u2019t expect great insight or emotional impact \u2014 the lyrics are usually in the vein of \u201cThe rain falls on me\/so gently\/Ease away the pain\/Of today\u201d \u2014 but as a mood piece, as background music for that aforementioned introspective autumn walk, it doesn\u2019t get much better.<\/p>\nThe Clientele \u2013 Bonfires On The Heath<\/em> (2009, Merge Records)<\/strong><\/p>\nLondon\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/theclientele.co.uk\/\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">The Clientele<\/a> have spent the last decade or so recording and releasing some of the most pristine, yet overlooked and under-appreciated, pop music you can imagine. Centered on Alasdair MacLean\u2019s breathy vocals, oftentimes surreal lyrics, and sterling guitarwork, the band is one of pop music\u2019s true treasures.<\/p>\nTheir music has always been populated with ghosts \u2014 the ghosts of childhood, of past lovers and relationships, and so on \u2014 and often skirts with ruminations on the impermanence of this mortal coil. But Bonfires On The Heath<\/em>, their most recent full-length, feels doubly so. You might not automatically glean that from the music \u2014 \u201cI Wonder Who We Are\u201d kicks the album off in glorious fashion, with horns, an incredibly deft bassline, and even a flamenco-influenced bridge. But this is a haunted album, whether we\u2019re talking about the slide guitar that drifts through the title track like a forgotten ghost or \u201cHarvest Time\u201d, where MacLean sings:<\/p>\n<blockquote>Bats from the eaves go shivering by \nScarecrows watch the verges of light \nI hear a choir on the heath at night \nBut no one\u2019s there<\/p><\/blockquote>\nMacLean has expressed a fascination with the classic myths of Britain, and that fascination certainly explains the mysterious, ephemeral quality of this album as much as the band\u2019s production and recording style. I doubt you\u2019ll find an album that is both as catchy and hummable, and as spectral, as this one. Which makes it perfect, as far as I\u2019m concerned, for the slowly growing chill of these autumn months.<\/p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Clientele - Bonfires on the Heath (Live on 89.3 The Current)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Nb9_1kRVgkk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\nVelour 100 \u2013 Fall Sounds<\/em> (1996, Tooth & Nail Records)<\/strong><\/p>\nIn the late \u201990s, Tooth & Nail Records exhibited a certain recklessness when it came to signing artists. How else can you explain a roster that included the likes of Roadside Monument, Blenderhead, Joe Christmas, Havalina Rail Co., Danielson Famile, Starflyer 59, Morella\u2019s Forest, and Driver Eight? During this incredible time, the label released one of their most sublime albums to date: Fall Sounds<\/em>, the debut from Velour 100, a dreampop duo consisting of Trey Many (His Name Is Alive) and Amon Krist.<\/p>\nI suppose it is<\/strong> a little \u201con the nose\u201d to include an album called Fall Sounds<\/em> in an autumn-themed playlist, but if the shoe fits\u2026 Fall Sounds<\/em> is a greatly evocative album that, despite its layered sonics and ambient flourishes, maintains a very intimate feel thanks to Amon Krist\u2019s voice. Her voice is simple and straightforward, and never prone to Elizabeth Fraser-esque glossolalia. Mixed in such a way so that songs flow into each other, as if they\u2019re simply movements within a single song, Fall Sounds<\/em> proves a very comforting and beguiling album, one that makes you yearn for the leaves to start changing color a little sooner.<\/p>\nUnfortunately, I can\u2019t embed the video for \u201cFlourish,\u201d but you can watch it <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=nC_BZyD_Wkw\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\nLow \u2013 I Could Live In Hope<\/em> (1994, Vernon Yard)<\/strong><\/p>\nGlorious though it may be, autumn can also be a gloomy time, especially in the latter months as the air gets colder, the trees get barer, and the sky gets darker and greyer in preparation for the oncoming winter snow. And if you\u2019re the type that needs music to pair with the changing season like a fine wine, then I Could Live In Hope<\/em> is the album for you.<\/p>\nActually, you could probably select any of Low\u2019s albums \u2014 1996\u2019s The Curtain Hits The Cast<\/em> would be another fine option \u2014 but I\u2019m going with this, their debut LP. With I Could Live In Hope<\/em>, the Minnesota trio led by the husband\/wife duo of Alan Sparhawk and Mimi Parker set the template for nearly every other \u201cslowcore\u201d outfit to follow. With ultra-sparse guitar notes and glacial pacing, minimalism is the key here, the space between the notes becoming as important as the notes themselves.<\/p>\nBut the group\u2019s pi\u00e8ce de r\u00e9sistance<\/em> are the gorgeous vocal harmonies of Sparhawk and Parker. Uplifting and world-weary at the same time, the couple\u2019s voices imbue their sometimes ominous music with a startling humanity and warmth that comes in handy when making it through the season\u2019s colder months, even as the music\u2019s tone and atmosphere often mirror the temperature outside quite nicely.<\/p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Low - Words\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4AzLgswmJxA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\nThe Innocence Mission \u2013 We Walked In Song<\/em> (2007, Badman Recording Co.)<\/strong><\/p>\nChances are, the word that is most often used to describe <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theinnocencemission.com\/\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">The Innocence Mission<\/a>\u2018s music is \u201cfolksy.\u201d True, their music is often stripped down, acoustic-based, and possessed of other \u201cfolksy\u201d hallmarks, but that term might cause some folks to dismiss the group as mere coffeehouse fare and\/or yet another bunch of wannabe hippies wishing it was still the \u201960s.<\/p>\nEven a cursory listen to We Walked In Song<\/em> reveals the group \u2014 the core of which is the husband\/wife duo of Don and Karen Peris \u2014 as one that touches on something much deeper and more poignant. The album is dedicated to Karen\u2019s parents, and as such, melancholy and grief floats through its eleven songs. But at the same time, there\u2019s a sense of hope and faith: hope in human relationships and community and faith in the underlying presence of the Divine.<\/p>\nOn \u201cInto Brooklyn, Early In The Morning,\u201d Karen sings of a \u201cbeautiful life, full of grieving\u201d \u2014 a perfect summary of the album\u2019s emotional and thematic tension. Which may make the album sound heavy and ponderous, but musically speaking, nothing could be further from the truth.\u00a0Karen\u2019s sing-song voice may be something of an acquired taste, but I find it beautiful and comforting, with charming little idiosyncrasies. And the musical arrangements, which often focus on Don\u2019s intricate and effortless guitarwork, are the epitome of graceful \u2014 something that is apparent even in this barebones performance of \u201cBrotherhood of Man.\u201d<\/p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Innocence Mission Brotherhood of Man\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Rr25sF18DZY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\nHood \u2013 The Cycle of Days and Seasons<\/em> (1999, Domino Records)<\/strong><\/p>\nOne of the most productive bands you\u2019ve never heard of, Hood have released a slew of albums, EPs, and singles on a variety of underground and indie labels. And with that much output, it\u2019s not surprising that their sound has evolved quite a bit over the years, from Sonic Youth-inspired noise pop to electronica that\u2019s equal parts Anticon hip-hop and Warp Records. But their most affecting music occurs when they slow down and explore a more ambient, pastoral sound \u00e0 la Talk Talk and Bark Psychosis. And of that era in their music, The Cycle of Days and Seasons<\/em> is the clear masterpiece.<\/p>\nPersonally, I find it difficult to think of the album\u2019s eleven songs as \u201csongs\u201d per se. Rather, they feel more like sketches of the British countryside \u2014 or at least, the British countryside that I\u2019ve always imagined in my head \u2014 created with the aid of lethargic guitar melodies, sparse piano notes, clarinets, oboes, and dub-influenced rhythms. And filling in the copious amount of space between the instruments are an array of incidental sounds, e.g., field recordings, snippets of conversation, and washes of static.<\/p>\nThe result is an album a good portion of which never feels quite \u201cthere,\u201d but rather, that a significant part is just outside of your reach, existing on the periphery of your consciousness. But rather than prove frustrating, it serves to draw you in even further into the album\u2019s chilly, drizzly, and melancholy little world. It\u2019s a meandering album, full of wide-open spaces and environments, and I find that it\u2019s an album that, once I press \u201cplay,\u201d I can\u2019t help but meander through as well. I just need to remember to bundle up.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"CaPC’s newest writer, Jason Morehead, shares a selection of songs to guide you through the coming months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1223,"featured_media":8070,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,11,13],"tags":[107,416,581,679,748,967,1262,1288,1406],"class_list":["post-7772","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured","category-headline","category-music","tag-autumn","tag-epic45","tag-hood","tag-july-skies","tag-low","tag-playlist","tag-the-clientele","tag-the-innocence-mission","tag-velour-100"],"yoast_head":"\n<title>An Autumn Playlist<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"CaPC's newest writer, Jason Morehead, shares a selection of songs to guide you through the coming months.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/christandpopculture\/2010\/09\/an-autumn-playlist\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"An Autumn Playlist\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"CaPC's newest writer, Jason Morehead, shares a selection of songs to guide you through the coming months.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/christandpopculture\/2010\/09\/an-autumn-playlist\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Christ and Pop Culture\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2010-09-24T11:36:43+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Jason Morehead\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Jason Morehead\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"10 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/christandpopculture\/2010\/09\/an-autumn-playlist\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/christandpopculture\/2010\/09\/an-autumn-playlist\/\",\"name\":\"An Autumn Playlist\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/christandpopculture\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2010-09-24T11:36:43+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2010-09-24T11:36:43+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/christandpopculture\/#\/schema\/person\/37866f912978aba01c775c555a6b5338\"},\"description\":\"CaPC's newest writer, Jason Morehead, shares a selection of songs to guide you through the coming months.\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/christandpopculture\/2010\/09\/an-autumn-playlist\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/christandpopculture\/2010\/09\/an-autumn-playlist\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/christandpopculture\/2010\/09\/an-autumn-playlist\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/christandpopculture\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"An Autumn Playlist\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/christandpopculture\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/christandpopculture\/\",\"name\":\"Christ and Pop Culture\",\"description\":\"Where the Christian faith meets the common knowledge of our age\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/christandpopculture\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/christandpopculture\/#\/schema\/person\/37866f912978aba01c775c555a6b5338\",\"name\":\"Jason Morehead\",\"image\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/christandpopculture\/#\/schema\/person\/image\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/a84f229aedbb6d82c32060a21113a5a2?s=96&d=mm&r=g\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/a84f229aedbb6d82c32060a21113a5a2?s=96&d=mm&r=g\",\"caption\":\"Jason Morehead\"},\"description\":\"Jason Morehead lives in the lovely state of Nebraska with his wife, three children, zero pets, and a large collection of CDs, DVDs, books, and video games.
