Since 2004, I have been making an indie pop comp for my birthday (prior entries into the series includes Ides of April, Glide, Bees Knees, Carousel, Treehouse, Walking Through Walls, Roam the Breezy Pastures, Now That I’m Older, Alien Ways, Memory Machine, and Sound Eclipse). This year’s comp is called Come to Our House. All songs are from 2013-2015, mostly 2014. As usual for this series, I think it is relatively accessible, this year with sprinkles of a theme of home, hope, and change.
