Autumnal and Halloween music recommendations

Various music selections have been curated to match the seasonal themes of autumn and Halloween. For the autumnal spirit, recommendations include Sufjan Stevens’ “Chicago,” which uses themes of impermanence to reflect the changing seasons, and The Cardigans’ “Your New Cuckoo,” which offers a pop-rock energy. Carly Rae Jepsen’s “Just a Little Walk on the Moon” is also noted for its blend of soul and neopsychedelia.

For Halloween-themed listening, indie and alternative rock tracks are highlighted for their atmosphere and storytelling. Featured songs include Band of Horses’ “Is There a Ghost,” Spoon’s “The Ghost of You Lingers,” and Tegan and Sara’s “Walking with a Ghost.” These selections range from ghostly indie pop to uneasy psychedelia, drawing from archives of music curated over the past 15 years.
