Autumn Songs

Summer has officially ended and as we file away all those memories of sunshine and warmth, we're pleased at least that the transition to autumn has so far been gentle. To get us in the mood for walking among crispy leaves and frosty grass we've sought out our favourite songs about the changing seasons. You'll hear tracks by the late Amy Winehouse, Donovan, Roy Harper, Tunng, Beth Orton, Jon Hopkins, The Zombies, Zulu Winter and much more. So dig in, wrap up and settle into the season...

PINS

PINS are one of those bracing bands that pop up every so often armed and ready to show the world how guitar music should be done. Since 2012 their urgent garage rock has grabbed the blogosphere by the shoulders and given all the fickle-faced indie kids a big slap around the chops. What could beat brisk rock ‘n’ roll delivered by a gang of devil-may-care Manchester mods? Watch them perform the title track from their debut album Girls Like Us.
