Autumn is a season that is best described as a season of feelings—we light our candles, put on our boots, pull out our extra blankets, sip on hot coffee rather than iced, and wear our chunky cardigans, all to create that feeling of coziness, reflection, and peace.

And one of our favorite ways to set the autumnal tone and create this feeling is through music. The music we play acts as the soundtrack to our lives—so it’s important to find musical artists who will help us capture the essence and beauty of autumn.

Here are some of our favorite indie artists that will help you get in the mood for fall.

01 | Greta Waldon

One of Wallflower’s own contributing writers, Greta Waldon’s beautiful, haunting music in her new album, Holy Omen, is the perfect accompaniment for those autumn nights spent working on your novel by candlelight.

02 | Matthew Thomas

Matthew Thomas’ new indie folk album, Mustangs & Thoroughbreds, Vol. 2, is best suited for those long, winding drives through the mountains, surrounded by the gorgeous, fiery autumn foliage—we especially loved “The Waiting Room.”

03 | Vikki Gilmore

Vikki Gilmore’s lovely, moody alto vocals will make you feel like you’re living out your main character moment as you walk down the rain-soaked streets dressed in fall leaves.

04 | SYML

SYML’s “Where’s My Love” is the kind of song you’ll find yourself playing over and over again, whether you’re driving through the rain or making the most of a stroll on a warm autumn day.

05 | Zoe Konez

Zoe Knoez’s soft, calming, beautiful voice will transport you to another world, offering you a sense of peace and serenity in the here and now.

06 | Ocie Elliott

This adorable songwriting duo is one to listen to for heartening, sweet, soft tunes. Learn their songs to sing with your loved one for a fun date night activity.

07 | Eve Owen

If guitars aren’t your thing, or you’re in the mood for some piano and vocals, Eve Owens’ “She Says” is perfectly beautiful, evocative, and soul-stirring—and oh so autumnal.

08 | Garrett Kato

Garrett Kato’s “Never Alone,” a duet featuring Elina, is the epitome of indie folk—with its catchy guitar riff and lovely, effortless vocals, you’ll undoubtedly find yourself singing along with it.

09 | St. Anthony Mann

Fareweather is the perfect soundtrack for the autumn adventures that await you. Play it as you drive through open fields or explore a small, neighboring town with a PSL in hand.
