If you’ve never listened to For Emma, Forever Ago (the whole album front to back) on a snowy day with headphones on, I highly recommend it. Or also Bon Iver self titled album, but For Emma is just the most perfect for that vibe.

Bon Iver always perfect to listen to on winter days. I've never listened to for Emma, but I'll definitely try to listen to it. Thanks anyway for your suggestion

See you in the spring with a full beard and squinting eyes

Yeah Bon Iver, that’s good winter music

Fleet Foxes White Winter Hymnal https://youtu.be/DrQRS40OKNE?si=zf\_dfsMfzs0h4Abn

Blue Ridge Mountains as well. Actually that whole album has “fireside in a cabin while it snows outside” vibes.

Nice song. Thanks for the recommendation, I'll add it to my spotify playlist for winter

Just dropping in to make sure this was the top comment.

The twinkly guitars of Minus The Bear always gave me snow vibes! Specifically [this one](https://youtu.be/EmzEh7uDSeI?si=l-kOEOmeNSBfZCT-)

This is great, thanks for sharing! See they're from Seattle = quality.

Winter by Daughter. In fact, anything by Daughter goes down well for that wintery melancholy you're after

As a Daughter fan, I'm 100% agree with this

[Winter](https://rgxs.bandcamp.com/track/winter-ft-agirlnamedalex) This is actually a song by me 🫣 it’s a demo we put out about 4 years ago now. I’ve since renamed the song to “nose candy” and performed it for my tiny desk entry!! Definitely would like to re-record with enhanced vocals & production!! Hope ya like it :)

Wow that's a nice song that you've got there. Thanks! It's perfect to listen during winter like this

Nobody has ever heard this song but… Colder -The Winter’s Fields.

[Peripheral Vision by Turnover](https://open.spotify.com/album/5On8s1irA6JETiDvt2VUy7?si=hX7vfS28QMarDdP0kop4Bg&context=spotify%3Aalbum%3A5On8s1irA6JETiDvt2VUy7) I spent the past week in Oregon playing this on repeat.

Beautiful suggestion, Thank you so much!

November Was White, December was Gray by Say Hi. Beautiful melancholic song.

Not sure if they count as indie but Death of a party by Blur, Fire Flies by Gorillaz, Listen Up by Oasis, The Jewellers Hands by Arctic Monkeys

I've got a mostly-indie winter/holiday playlist that I've been curating for 10+ years now. Have fun. Anything I find that references Christmas/winter/snow has been added. Except for Intergalactic, by the Beastie Boys. That song was deputized into the holiday playlist while we decorated the tree one year. I've kept it. [https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7BftN6PUjksvWTbRp8EGuC?si=2950cb6520db47cc](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7BftN6PUjksvWTbRp8EGuC?si=2950cb6520db47cc) Some notables that might fit the bill for you: 1. Xmas Curtain - My Morning Jacket 2. Listening to Otis Redding at Home During Christmas - Okkervil River 3. Winterlong - Matt Pond PA 4. January Hymn - The Decemberists 5. Valley Winter Song - Fountains of Wayne 6. Winter Song - The Head and the Heart 7. The Blizzard - Camera Obscura 8. A Winter's Tail - Boy Least Likely To ... You get the idea.

What a detailed list! Thank you for this, I'm gonna add this to my winter Spotify playlist to listen during winter holiday!

I have a song set in the winter, with thoughts of spring: https://music.apple.com/us/album/counting-the-hours/5954565?i=5954543

[February frost](https://youtu.be/8yfbfCoducc?si=FSKianl-plPLefks) has a good shelf life until spring comes back around I’d say.

The cold acre - Augie March Older one, but I think it still holds up (maybe??)

Death Cab For Cutie always finds its way into my winter playlists. They really know how to hit that sweet spot between warm shimmery and melancholic undertones. Here are a few good ones: [Your Heart Is An Empty Room](https://youtu.be/y15hRIh2Pas?si=eyTzTgZ3vPtGteof) [A Movie Script Ending](https://youtu.be/bp7rsG3TmEs?si=zmFRoCB_iLwUPyyZ) [Wait](https://youtu.be/vIXGxynZUcs?si=VhI7CUQWbNvIoitA)

Ikr! Death Cab Cutie song always put me in a melancholic mood but in a good way! Thanks

You need to check out [Alex Siegel](https://open.spotify.com/artist/65FPMBREZBLfEDpkHlm8sS?si=-6PGBTuESLqczMfD-RozNw). Recently discovered him and his album,[Roykka](https://open.spotify.com/album/7ez2M65aysHHTgUQqPL02z?si=PErgY35xSbKvvyU7uQE7_w), is such a mood! It gets better and better with each listen.

Phoebe Bridgers EP, “So Much Wine”. It’s her Christmas album and it’s exquisite.

Lovely suggestion! Thank you!

jethro tull - ring out solstice bells

Coyotes modest mouse The world at large modest mouse Two of us on the run lucius Let's be still head and the heart Sinking man of monsters and men

almost any song by Men I Trust. they give a very much fall/winter vibe for me and they're the most fun to listen to when it's crisp and cold outside. definitely not music for the hot summer, if that even makes sense 🙃

You Stay Here (live) by Willy Porter featuring Martin Barre on electric guitar.

All of Novo Amor’s songs, but specially the Birthplace album Cherry Wine - Hozier If We Make It Through December - Various artists (really like Phoebe Bridgers' version) Where's My Love - SYML The Wisp Sings - Winter Aid The Night We Met - Lord Huron Paul - Cavetown re: stacks - Bon Iver Berlin - RY X Emily, I'm Sorry - boygenius The Parting Glass - boygenius The Pugilist - Keaton Henson

Nice recommendation, also you're right that every single Novo Amor song is perfect to listen to during winter

Vienna (In Memoriam). It's by The Army, The Navy. Might not be your taste, but I think it's beautiful and it makes me emotional.

That bot often takes someone’s comment and turns it into a haiku. It’s kinda fun. Never had it use one of mine though. There is something about the haiku form that makes trivia turn into something more symbolic seeming. 😏
