The “granola” aesthetic has skyrocketed in popularity in recent years — in great part thanks to social media creators who are committed to sharing slices of their granola life — complete with rainy day hikes, weekend camping next to alpine lakes and the persistent dream to live off-grid with nature. As autumn nears and you begin craving a “Twilight” (2008) re-watch, here is a playlist that will transport you next to crackling campfires and the Pacific Northwest as aestheticized by Stephenie Meyer.

“Simulation Swarm” — Big Thief

Frontman of Big Thief and singer-songwriter Adrianne Lenker often resorts to songwriting to discuss her thoughts in cryptic form, and “Simulation Swarm” is no exception. With stripped-down, pensive vocals, Lenker initiates an intimate conversation with her listeners. In her signature lyrics inspired by natural imagery, listeners are continually reminded of the wildlife and nature that are inseparable from human existence and experiences.

“Heartbeats” — José González

Swedish singer José González, with his meditative guitar playing and soulful singing, brings a refreshingly outdoorsy touch to “Heartbeats” in his acoustic cover of The Knife’s 2002 electropop hit. Reminiscent of something featured in a coming-of-age movie soundtrack, “Heartbeats” beautifully sets the scene for an evening bike ride around the city.

“Amsterdam” — Gregory Alan Isakov

An avid traveler, folk musician Gregory Alan Isakov personifies the city of Amsterdam as a past lover in this mysterious yet romantic tune. With his echoing vocal harmonies and string instrumentation that accompany the simplicity of his piano and guitar melody, Isakov’s acoustic arpeggios create a gentle quasi-waltz with which to dance among crimson-leaved trees.

“Evergreen” — Richy Mitch & The Coal Miners

Short but sweet, “Evergreen” has been the it-girl song for outdoor adventure videos all summer long. Comprised of just two short verses, Richy Mitch & The Coal Miners ponder being at a crossroads, resolving that the solution is to follow the heart. With the backing vocalist’s howls and the fast-paced, excited guitar strums, this song is a reminder of the whimsical wonder that outdoor recreation instills in us.

“Poison Root” — Alex G

Toeing the line between folk and country music, Alex G’s mumbling vocals whisper the secrets of the woods into the listener’s ear. As the fiddle and banjo instrumentals embody the feeling of frolicking through wildflower meadows, this infectious song describes a spiritual awakening in the natural world.

“The Night We Met” — Lord Huron

Largely popularized by TikTok, Lord Huron’s “The Night We Met” gives listeners a sense of déjà vu with this haunting song about loss. These musical lamentations, echoing “I had all and then most of you / Some and now none of you,” sound familiar and almost choral — in the version featuring indie music icon Phoebe Bridgers, lead singer Ben Schneider’s sonorous melodies are complemented by her harmonies that slowly engulf the song like campfire flames.

“Beach Baby” — Bon Iver

Multifaceted, indie-alternative band Bon Iver slows down time in “Beach Baby.” Reflecting on bittersweet endings, the band’s soft instrumentals ebb and flow like ocean waves. While the beach is typically associated with warm, summery weather, Bon Iver challenges this association with a song about the beach that, like the band’s name, is a recollection of winter (Bon Iver is a re-spelling of the French “bon hiver,” which directly translates to “good winter”) and the nipping cold that seeps into old memory.

“mood ring baby” — Field Medic

One of folk music’s newest sweethearts, Field Medic has emerged on the scene with acoustic guitar and harmonica in hand — becoming a Bob Dylan-esque figure in the modern folk music world. Through his lyrics that declare, “You’re green, you’re purple, you’re a silver ring of moods / I’ll love you always / Even if you’re bad news,” Field Medic uses his bluesy-folk style to describe a lover whose temperament changes as often as the colors of a mood ring.

“Secrets Of The Stars” — The Milk Carton Kids

Two of Los Angeles’ very own, The Milk Carton Kids wholeheartedly embrace the folk genre in a manner akin to artists of the folk revival heyday of the ’60s. “Secrets Of The Stars” is a hypnotic ballad in which both singers’ voices weave together like the threads of a tapestry. Seeing as the song’s album is aptly titled “Monterey,” this song is best appreciated while driving up the Pacific Coast Highway and taking in all of central California’s coastal views.

“Flightless Bird, American Mouth” — Iron & Wine

A moody, outdoorsy-styled playlist wouldn’t be complete without a mention of Iron & Wine. Featured twice in the “Twilight Saga,” the unconventional lyrics of this song illustrate what it means to grow up and live an unremarkable life, which coming to terms with is a “Big pill, stuck going down.” With a cheery tune that, on a surface level, masks the darker themes of the story, Iron & Wine builds a world in “Flightless Bird” that is strangely nostalgic yet soothingly mundane.
