I could post a pointless list of albums, but I'm just going to post this
Carissa's Wierd - Songs About Leaving (2002)
Over the past couple of years this has grown to become probably my favourite album of the past 12 years or so. It's not particularly revolutionary to me, but it just hits the spot perfectly. The music really reminds me of my favourite season of the year - autumn, with the changing colour of the leaves and the days getting darker and colder. It's a very emotionally-draining album, but has a warm quality to it that's very inviting and keeps you coming back.
