Do you have any particular albums that remind you of certain seasons? I'm sure most people have a summer album but what about an album that reminds you of Spring, Fall, or Winter?
I have a lot of them for autumn and winter. Go-tos would be~
Summer: The Postal Service - Against All Odds, Jack Johnson - Inaudible Melodies, Rilo Kiley - The Execution of All Things
Autumn: Arcade Fire - Funeral, Voltaire - any/all albums about spooky Halloween stuff, any Tom Waits album is suited for November
Winter: Death Cab for Cutie - Transatlanticism, Brand New - Fight Off Your Demons
Spring gets nothing from me. Cannot thing of a spring mood album.
As a metal fan it's easy to rattle off dozens of albums that remind me of winter, Agalloch's 'The Mantle' came to mind first.
Green Carnation's 'Acoustic Verses' is very much an Autumn album for me, the song Sweet Leaf in particular, and of course anything King Diamond for the Halloween theme.
Saor's new album Aura has a very Spring feel to it for similar reasons as Agalloch is to Winter, despite it being released in June. The cover art certainly backs it up though.
As for Summer that has to go back to my nu-metal days when life as a teenager was care-free, Linkin Park, Manson and so on. Blink-182 as well.
Autumn: Drudkh - Autumn Aurora
Winter: ColdWorld - Melancholie²; anything by Paysage d'Hiver; probably dozens of other albums
Vince Gueraldi's Charlie Brown Christmas is winter, as far as I'm concerned.
Summer:
Come With Us - The Chemical Brothers
Random Access Memories - Daft Punk
Discovery - Daft Punk
Ice on the Dune - Empire of the Sun (melting away ice basically yes, this is definitely a summer album)
Recharged - Linkin Park
Santogold - Santigold
Om Lounge 15 Year Anniversary Edition - Various Artists or any Om Lounge for that matter
(house music = summer)
Fall:
Youth Novels - Lykki Li
Wounded Rhymes - Lykki Li
Silent Hill 4: The Room - Akira Yamaoka
October Rust - Type O Negative (what a fitting title)
Vulgar - Dir en grey
Winter:
ROENTGEN - Hyde
Merry Christmas - Mariah Carey
Any album by Nat King Cole
Colors of Jazz - Blazo - (Jazz goes really well when it's cold outside and you want to snuggle inside with a cup of hot coco)
RENT OST (it makes me think of winter considering most of is occurring during winter when people are dying of AIDS)
Spring:
Oracular Spectacular - MGMT
Kingdom Hearts OST
Not really sure about Spring, but Dearly Beloved and a few other tracks always makes me think of flowers blossoming.
