“Pure at Heart,” the new album of dreamy folk music from Photo Ops, is the sound of a songwriter in awe of his new surroundings and making sense of his place in them. In today’s QUARANTUNES, Terry Price talks about coping with mood swings and shares a playlist that soundtracks them.
“Be Still,” the debut EP from L.A. duo Hey, King!, sounds perfectly titled for the COVID-19 lockdown, but emotionally it is anything but static. In today’s QUARANTUNES, Natalie London and Taylor Plecity talk about missing arcade games and touring, while sharing a playlist of golden old faves.
