Autumn can be beautiful leaves, local cafés that dust the pumpkin spice siruhine and are exhibited with plastic-jack-o 'lanterns every year. It can also be Liminal. It is in the feeling of a sudden gust of somewhat cooler breeze against the skin, in the sun, which only one minute before yesterday and in the strange, empty sadness of the intermediate act.
Shoegaze and post-punk feel for this threshold. With layers and echo texts, they did not quite decide – they pursue like an echo in an alley. This playlist is not about cozy autumn tropics – it's about the beautiful but scary border between light and dark.
I. Morgen: Linger Summer
These songs carry the remaining echo of the summer days, while gently weighing the first discomfort like the first breath of the cold.
- Slowdive: “When the sun hits”
The obvious start of the genre and only. The guitars shimmer like a fading afternoon into the golden hour; The vocals are partially sung, partially remembered.
2. Soviet Soviet: “Iris”
A square, persistent and somewhat desperate attitude to the classic of the Goo Goo Dolls. A good cover always looks fundamental for the season of the border.
3. Chiaroscuro: “City Invisible “
This beautiful offer of the Italian collective is a soundtrack for quickly walking without real destination – or to reproduce conversations in your head at 11 p.m. when the night refuses to settle.
4. Live on Venus: “Camera obscura”
The Obscura camera is difficult with guitar riffs and airy between chords and feels like cool winds on the way to lessons. The fragmented texts of the track itself tend to describe the challenges of a long -distance relationship than that of a laboratory at 8:30 a.m., but art can be defined by none other than the observer.
II. Golden hour: last light
The focus, the threshold – a short period in which the world feels hung in amber.
5. Softcult: “Heaven”
A honey hose, dazzling composition-the sky feels just as if you are catching the last rays of sun from one day.
III. Evening: after light
Songs for the hours that confuse in shade when the sky split into blue and black.
6. Soft Kill: “Sea of doubt”
Opens this route with a constant beat and an impressive but soft grayness, as in the fog to hike without the glasses.
7. House of the damage: “Way above”
The latest and most minimalist publication of the Boston band “Away Over” feels like another of these nights – not quite like yesterday, but not enough to feel like his own.
8. Warmachine: “Fiction”
Here the sadness sneaks up – not the acute way, but the boring pain of things that are overlooked and unresolved. They always stab a little, but they can be ignored almost impossible if they are made in the evening in the evening.
9. Diiv: “Rain on your pillow” rains “
A song that drifts in a window pane like condensation. Less, less historic, more spacious, like an echoey empty room; It is music to be awake after midnight, the ceiling hardly visible and hears the world that hums in front of the window.
10. Drab Majestät, Rachel Goswell: “Vanity”
Synthy, spectral and heavy with his own reflection feels vanity as if you are going through a not so pleasant, fear-injured dream that you cannot hold on-and why should you want? Rachel Goswell's presence opens and closes this playlist. It is a song that does not dissolve so much to dissolve into the static and only leave the echo, the shadow, the persistent trace of the light.
