I actually begin listening to that album when the weather becomes cold (without even noticing).

It's an incredible album, very underrated.

My favorite from the album - the most winter song of all:

I'm still working through some of the recommendations given here. I find post-rock is great winter music personally, so I've been listening to a lot of that. Can't beat jazz as soon as the sun has gone down though, perfect early evening music when it's dark. Not sure I've ever listened to jazz in the day come to think of it. Winter = more dark = more jazz! So yeah, a few more wintery albums that haven't been mentioned, in my opinion:

Mogwai - Young Team

Biosphere - Substrata

M83 - Before The Dawn Heals Us

St Vincent-Actor
Antony and The Johnsons are ONLY listenable during winter.

Agalloch _ ashes against the grain... I feel as though The Mantle is more of a Fall album.

I'd say Meddle by Pink Floyd is a great one as well.

Just getting into this:

It's deep, heavy and atmospheric without falling into any of the cliches associated with the genre. It's not Electronica and it's not metal but it somehow bridges the gap between both genres. Astonishing.

Sorry 2 years late but important mentions, Eddie Vedder - Into The Wild OST

Pink Floyd's - A momentary lapse of reason -

M83 - Dead Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghosts
I just happened to be listening to this right now and I think it's an album that sounds great in winter, more so than Before The Dawn Heals Us which was mentioned already in the thread. It's largely instrumental compared to later works and the soundscapes have a nice winter feel.

And I remember... I... I... I cried. I wept like some grandmother. I wanted to tear my teeth out. I didn't know what I wanted to do. And I want to remember it. I never want to forget it. I never want to forget. And then I realized... like I was shot... like I was shot with a diamond... a diamond bullet right through my forehead. And I thought: My God... the genius of that.
