For as much as we believe our tastes remain stubbornly our tastes, immutable and determined solely by us, the changing of the seasons can make a pretty compelling counterargument. The weather gets cold, the sun sets earlier, and suddenly we’re listening to a lot less Dua Lipa, and a lot more Radiohead. Just as whether we’re happy or sad can dictate our choices in musical balm, so, too, does the climate help determine how many beats per minute we want filling our speakers. And to a degree, the albums coming out in the fall reflect that shift: We’ve got a bunch of great new releases from artists more interested in having you hit the headphones than the dance floor: My Morning Jacket, Billy Bragg, Hovvdy, and more all make an appearance in October—and if you’re not ready for the party to stop, artists like Remi Wolf and Meek Mill have got you covered. Plus, Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga tackle more standards, so there’s truly something for everyone. Read on to see the records we’re most looking forward to spinning in October.

Brandi Carlile’s seventh studio album In These Silent Days drops on October 1, just in time to have a soulful fall. she wrote the album in her barn “during a time of deep and personal reckoning” and the 10 songs are full of reflection and celebration, as witnessed in her first track. “Right On Time”—with a music video directed by Courteney Cox, of all people—is a slow, profound ballad.

    MMJ is such a weird band, I like about a third of their songs a lot but then the rest just don’t do a thing for me.t

    So much good stuff this month. The Lala Lala album should be solid, the Julia Shapiro is SO GOOD, I love Lana no matter what anyone else says, and I’m optimistic about the new Wet – I feel like they haven’t had a great song since “Deadwater” though, so we’ll see.

    I find your lack of Local H’s Awesome  Quarantine Mixtape #3 disturbing.

    10/22 sees the release of Sleepover by Mildred Maude. Solid long-form psych rock.
