Autumn lofi is the warmest, dustiest corner of the genre: slower tempos, minor-leaning jazz chords, and a lot of rain. Below is a set from our autumn lofi collection for October evenings, about 35 minutes, ordered from late afternoon light to full dark. Play them in order, or press play on any one and the player carries on with similar tracks.
What makes lofi feel like autumn
Nothing in music is officially "autumn", but a few things reliably get there:
- Warm keys and guitar instead of bright synths.
- Minor chords with a sweet note on top, the "wistful" sound of a minor ninth.
- Rain and room noise, which make the music feel like it's happening indoors.
- Slightly slower drums, so it feels like the day is winding down.

Two rooms in the library lean autumn all year: rainy day lofi, for when the weather turns, and lofi jazz, for evenings in. If you'd rather not pick at all, the radio plays the whole catalog.
