To commemorate 15 years of operating as fine purveyors of first-rate indie pop,
released a collection of tracks by some of their top artists from the past, some recent mainstays, and a few promising newcomers as well. A mix of previously unreleased songs, hard-to-find gems, and brand-new recordings, the collection spells out
's philosophy again and again: find bands that make super-catchy indie pop, then release it! Sounds simple but it's really not. The old-timers are well represented by an unreleased
cover of
's "When I'm Walking" and a truly lovely cover of
' "No More Tearstained Makeup" by
. The current roster is looking good too, with fine tracks by
,
, and
. Of the newcomers,
's sophisticated '80s pop ballad "One Step Closer to Enemies" sounds particularly good. And can
please make an album, like yesterday!? Their contribution, the bubbling pop-soul groover "Someone Who Wanders," is the album's high point, and only points out how painfully infrequently they release songs. That thought aside,
is a thoroughly listenable look at a wonderful label, and totally invaluable to those who call themselves fans of indie pop music. ~ Tim Sendra
