This, our ninth compilation, is a total “family & friends” affair. We’ve seen many artists come and go since dreaming this all up back in 2009. Consider this collection of tunes as a random card you get in the mail one day from a long-forgotten friend. It is steeped in nostalgic references and mile-markers from their journey that they think will at least hold your interest and at most rekindle a connection.

Here’s a track-by-track description of the compilation:

• Track 01 – Fainting Couch, “So Long”:  new single from the guitar half of “Powerviolet,” who we featured on HSAL #65.
• Track 02 – Lost In Space Camp, “Aquatone (Attic Session)”:  Instrumental take on a track that may include vocals on a future release…
• Track 03 – honeybrandy, “Closed For Learning”:  new track from upcoming album, “File Under Contemplative Protest,” due out later this year.
• Track 04 – Plastic Hacks, “Slow Glow”:  new single from the forthcoming album, “Fabulously Melancholy,” due out Spring 2025 on Friend Club Records.
• Track 05 – Young Hierophant, “From A Room Forever”:  this track is an unreleased composition from the sessions for his STELLAR 2024 album “Return To The Healing Church.”
• Track 06 – Sheetrock, “Herald”:  new single from RVA members of Toan Team.
• Track 07 – asentimentalsong, “The Calm Before The Calm”:  new piece presented by Joe from TLVS. #dronelife
• Track 08 – Times Tables, “Zoom Meeting”:  new single from Roanoke’s faux-midwestern emo sons. EP drops later this month.
• Track 09 – TLVS, “Honey From Every Wind”:  only track from last year’s split with Powerviolet that’s never been played live.
• Track 10 – Steve Scott, “On A Personal Note (Stilyagi Drone Mix)”:  Per Steve, this is a rough sketch of something being worked on.
