In just the first 10 weeks of 2020, Madison musicians have put out a wealth of new music worth hearing. Tone Madison’s Steven Spoerl and Scott Gordon sat down recently to talk about some of the standouts, including: Disq’s Collector, Supa Friends’ “Heart Made Of Gold,” LINE’s Choosing Sides, Tubal Cain’s Summon The Mist, Louise Bock’s Sketch For Winter VII—Abyss: For Cello, No Question’s Internal Bleeding, TS Foss’ forthcoming self-titled album, and Woke Up Crying’s 3:27 A.M.

This episode’s getting out a few days late, as we were scrambling last week to cover the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on local arts and culture. And thanks to the pandemic, it’s anyone’s guess when you’ll get to see any of these artists live again, so consider supporting them by buying their music online.
