I'm definitely in agreement on the notion of the Night In The Woods OST being great, but the ideal autumn music to me is 100% the obvious choice of
Autumn by Andrew Huang. Its a gorgeous folk-rock album that has a unique vibe about it. Its from a four-part series with one album for every season.
Winter is probably the best one in my opinion, but it has more filler stuff in it that lowers the overall score below
Autumn, which ultimately ends up placing it slightly below
Autumn. Some of the best of the album:
- "Brandish" is just the peak of autumn vibes to me. That traditional instrumentation is so memorable
- "Lantern" is second only to Brandish, it has very similar instrumentation but way more gentle folk-y vibes.
- "O! What A Lie!" is by far the best song on the album to me. The bass was more than enough to sell me on it, but the vocals certainly help.
I highly recommend you listen to the entire album, it is a deeply pleasant and somehow nostalgic listen. If you enjoy this, I recommend listening to
Winter, but skip "Agatha", "Alexandra", "Her Majesty", and "Victoria". They're just boring filler love ballads that don't really lyrically or instrumentally suit the aesthetic of the album in my opinion; without them, the album is an easy 9 or 10 out of ten.
