Live music is on hiatus, but that hasn\u2019t stopped Madison area artists from putting out new work. With <\/em>Quarantunes<\/em><\/a>, we\u2019ll spotlight recent releases in the time of lockdown.<\/em><\/span>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s easy to be me \/ when you stand just out of reach\u201d<\/h3>\n

In this unlikely moment of widespread physical distancing, it\u2019s tempting to assign new meaning to these words from ts foss\u2019s \u201cOut of Reach<\/a>.\u201d But the isolation addressed on the track, from the Madison songwriter\u2019s self-titled debut album<\/a>, is a maneuver of emotional self-preservation.<\/p>\n
