“Let’s talk about it in the morning” goes the chorus Cheer Up Club’s new single — but actually the L.A. eccentrics are all about confronting serious issues right now. In today’s QUARANTUNES, they talk about donating proceeds to charity, recording remotely and their issues-oriented playlist.

“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.
