A warm welcome to the newest member of Imaginary Sounds. This is Jacob's first compilation and one of our first conceptual mixtapes. The idea of home is something we can all relate to, even if you don't have one. Enjoy.

A place filled with faint laughter and film-grain memories, where the world is a giant and forgiving place; not one of us given to cynicism or doubt. Time is marked not by the movement of hands, but by the position of the sun in the early evening sky, existing as the one last stronghold for innocence and unbridled joy. Such is the nostalgia surrounding my parent's house in a small Kentucky town during the early 90's. My brother and I grew up in a time when kids could roam the neighborhood until dark, and while we locked the doors after dark, it still felt safe. My world consisted of the few blocks surrounding my house and anything beyond that might as well have been a million miles away. Our biggest concerns were how to spend our afternoons after school let out, and how best to avoid our homework, which more often than not went hand in hand.
As an adult, home has moved from a physical place, and relocated to fond memories. Memories of times spent with friends out in the middle of the night at the lighthouse in Washington Park, watching the lights of Chicago over the water. Memories of Halloween parties and hours of music played with friends. Home has since become that intangible dwelling located beneath rib and flesh, where I can travel to anytime I'm looking for a little joy, and home is always met with a sigh and a muted smile.
