It helps if you've seen Heima, which everyone needs to see, whether they're a fan or not...

All these seem to work well for me as a wintry kinda soundtrack. Don't ask why though.

I can definitely get behind this.

I'm going to check some of these albums out in the mean time I'll get my thinking cap on.

Hell yeah for Talk Talk but I much prefer Spirit Of Eden for that wintery sound.

Despite the 'sunny' images, this album does it for me:

As for tracks here are a few of mine as I like to listen to comps in the dead of winter:

I will get killed for this considering their Punk Roots but I love this track. The piano that kicks in after a minute is sublime:

Surprised it hasn't been mentioned yet.

Can't go wrong with any of Envy's releases since A Dead Sinking Story either.

Leviathan from Mastodon is a good one too. I know it represents more of an ocieanic theme, but it does a good job of soundscaping the dark, cold, rainy winter nights in Jersey.

Bohren & der Club of Gore - Black Earth

Anything by Agalloch.

Auburn Lull - Alone I admire. The sparse, sweeping soundscapes on that album just epitomise the moods winter can and invariablY does evoke
