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, and Memory Machine). This year’s comp is called Sound Eclipse. All songs are from 2012-2013. As usual for this series, I think it is relatively accessible, and much of it may be familiar to the indie music followers among you.
