lawrence's 'the absence of blight' is good for this too, it's like watching snowy fields from a train.

90s Low has the right stillness and space plus gorgeous harmonies. Try the Long Division LP. "Shame" or "Violence"' will give you a taste.

man, low is the answer, especially if you're looking for music for a cold winter day. if you're looking for cold weather night-music, the list opens up, e.g., burial; dirty beaches; the sinking of the titanic; the disintegration loops; etc., etc.

For some reason this is something I only listen to when it is cold out, and works right along with the Guaraldi Peanuts tunes as go-to Winter music. Definitely is chiming and atmospheric:

This Pantha du Prince & The Bell Laboratory is almost exactly what I've been looking for. All I remember of Pantha du Prince is that he did a track or two with Panda Bear, which made me reluctant to further check him out. I know that's a really shitty way to go about listening to music, but I just find those guys so distasteful.
Anyway, thanks. You've opened my mind.

I like the cover art, though. I was hopeful.
Lithops - umi unit has some gorgeous, warm and groovy tracks. along the same lines, Microstoria Model 3, Step 2 sets up an ultra-warm, fragmented, and melody-rich atmosphere - there's a strong plasticity and fluid quality of action to the sound structures.

that oval is nice. ovalprocess is the only album of his that i've really embraced, though "do while" is sublime.
we got another, heavier (5 inches on the benches) snowstorm last night in the Salt Lake Valley. even though i'm not a native, "we don't get storms like we used to." - i hope that changes.
