Bubble Wrap continues to be all about distracting our listeners during the coronavirus epidemic. But this doesn’t mean we’ve completely lost our principles. New music from Nap Eyes, Tres Leche, Lucinda Williams (!) and Liraz. Favorite throwaway track: “Skype Date” by Shotgun Jimmie. Weirdest cover: “Mon Amour Mon Ami” by Julien Gasc.
Shoutout to Said The Gramophone for all the great tunes they’ve been posting lately. They’re a music blog with a heart.
