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, Sound Eclipse, Come to Our House, and Little Blue House). This year’s comp is called Thoughtland. All songs are from 2015-2017. As usual for this series, I think it is relatively accessible, while featuring stylistically-broad music with integrity.
