Everyone should list their favorite fall emo records (obvious or not!) so that I (and everyone else..I guess) can find some new stuff to listen to! There's only so many times I can play The Early November and American Football
false cathedrals by Elliott, stereo by christie front drive, you will eventually be forgotten by empire empire, you fear and me by souvenirs, everyone everywhere 2010 by everyone everywhere, you should be at home here by Carissas wierd, a gentle reminder by the jealous sound, look now look again by Rainer Maria, fighting starlight by benton falls, are you my lionkiller by imbroco, drink tea by I am the branch, amateurs and professionals by penfold, fates worse than death by short fictions, I hope you never find me by tapestry, senselessness by casavettes sorry I got carried away
I just listened to Designing a Nervous Breakdown for the first time this week and lost my damn mind at how great it was and I will probably be wearing it out this fall. also revisited new pocket by runaway brother and it’s not only even better than I remembered, but it’s also v fitting for the feeling of the changing seasons
last joie de vivre album anything by prawn stretch to call it strictly speaking emo but the last moving mountains album

@OotyPa great call on Pompeii and outsmarting Simon. two of my favs. I've always considered yolk in the fur and twelve years to be summer nights albums tho, interestingly
The first time I listened to Yolk was driving through a snowstorm, so that's what I associate with the record.
Yolk is a transition season (spring or fall) record for me. Really, it's best while driving in the mountains or deep in nature. Glad I'm not the only human on earth left who still listens to Pompeii / knows who Outsmarting Simon is.
Their album Stand Up Straight might be better but impossible to find anywhere besides a couple songs on YouTube.
