Fall is by far my favorite season. There’s something so nostalgic about the smell of dying plants (sounds creepy but you know it’s true) and every year I inevitably dig myself into the same hole of listening to the same handful of bands on repeat. There’s a simplicity about this time of year, even as we are hurled into the maddening blackhole that is holiday season. Fall as a season brings about a certain melancholia I find myself sinking into each year that’s only heightened by these acoustic-picked melodies. This time of year I really only want to listen to simple tunes that tell a story. Really, if it doesn’t make me slightly sad but in a good way or it’s not Born Ruffians chances are I don’t want to hear it. It makes sense when you don’t think about it. Check out the choons after the jump. I hope you don’t get caught in the same vortex as me.
