At just over two minutes, “Taking” packages many of enigmatic indie star (Sandy) Alex G’s signature motifs into a concise musical statement. Pitch-shifted vocals wash over an angsty acoustic guitar riff, and an ethereal synth line evolves into a bright, harmonious hook. It’s a great song to throw on while you watch the leaves fall outside.

LA-based friends Warm Drag, part of the Oh Sees alumni network, have succeeded in writing a haunting horror story disguised as love song, based on the creepy true tale of a badly decomposing human body once found in member Paul Quattrone’s NYC apartment. Don’t sleep on this, if you can sleep at all.

On this downtempo ballad from Lana Del Rey’s new album, the songstress softly sings riddles over a pillowy medley of guitar, piano and strings. It’s a song that you can get lost in — perfect for a long walk on an autumn day.

Crosby, Stills & Nash — “Helplessly Hoping”

Crosbystillsandnash

This song off Crosby, Stills & Nash’s 1969 debut album feels well-suited for a listen on a brisk fall day. I love its simplicity—with only sparse guitar picking, beautiful three-part harmony and alliterative wordplay, they’ve created a warm, rich and timeless track.

The Lumineers — “Life in the City”

Swae Lee Ft. Drake

Living in Southern California can sometimes feel like every season is summer, and this song reminds me of sunset bonfires at the beach. This is the perfect song for the transition from summer to fall, even if the weather hasn’t quite caught up yet.
