Mood moosic and a bit of Mumford

Now that the Babel album is out (aaahh!), I've been thinking a lot about having music that can just put you in a certain mood. As the weather shifts for the arrival of autumn, I've been really into music that just kind of evokes warmth and, of course, songs that make me smile.

Those of you who know me or follow me on Twitter will know that I am a big nu-folk/frock fan (Mumford, Laura Marling, Ben Howard, OMAM, Bon Iver, ect ect.), so I thought I'd use this as an excuse to share my favourite songs from Babel and some other amazing autumn songs.

BABEL

I love all the tracks on Babel, but here are my top 5 (in no particular order, I couldn't choose!)

1) Babel

2) Hopeless Wanderer

3) Ghosts That We Knew

4) Whispers In The Dark

5) For Those Below

Rainy Mood

I'm British, so naturally the sound of rain is very soothing to me! It just makes me feel very secure (anyone else? No, just me? Oh, okay). And for me, rain just epitomises autumn.

A while back, my friend Alex suggested Rainymood.com to play in the background under (or over?) my music. It's so good! I love the effect of it, it just adds something special to a beautiful song.

Here's a few of my favourite songs to play with Rainymood.com:

1) Flume - Bon Iver

2) Flaws - Bombay Bicycle Club and Lucy Rose

3) Gracious - Ben Howard

4) Home - Gabrielle Aplin (see my post on her!)

5) The Enemy - Mumford and Sons

 Hope you all enjoyed this post, tell me about any good 'mood' or seasonal music in the comments below!

Keep Dorking On,
