10) White Winter Hymnal - Fleet Foxes

A band made up of entirely bearded men wearing lumberjack shirts and heavy woolen knits - dressed for winter all year round.

9) Jesus Is A Rochdale Girl - Elbow

Jingly keys and hushed vocals are the perfect accompaniment on a cold winters night.

8) Youth - Daughter

Winter is a season of reflection on the year we’re about the leave behind; Daughter does hindsight beautifully.

7) Snowship - Benjamin Francis Leftwich

Layered choir-esque vocals littered with tinges of regret. Yorkshire’s own Bon Iver...only better.

6) Chapel Song - We Are Augestines

Who says you can’t wear a coat, gloves and sunglasses in a video and still release a serious record?

5) Two Dancers (I) - Wild Beasts

Minimal drums and deep vocals; if the xx soundtrack summer, Wild Beasts claim winter as their own.

4) Lifeline - Citizen Cope

Winter is the busiest time of year for the Samaritans; probably because of songs as beautifully tragic like this.

3) Home - Edward Sharpe And The Magnetic Zeros

People travel home for Winter; Christmas and New Year were invented to bring families together; this says it wonderfully.

2) The Funeral - Band Of Horses

Single-handedly proving that acoustic guitars aren’t the be all and end all of conveying emotion in music.

1) Goodbye England (Covered In Snow) - Laura Marling

The greatest female singer-songwriter of her generation’s patriotic ode to winter is essential listening.
