Japanese Breakfast recorded a cover of Sufjan Stevens’ song “Romulus” for SiriusXMU sessions, as Stereogum points out. The original track appears on Stevens’ 2003 album Greetings From Michigan the Great Lake State. Michelle Zauner’s rendition was recorded at Electric Lady Studios in New York City and includes contributions from Gabby’s World and Molly Germer. Hear it below.
Japanese Breakfast’s newest album, Jubilee, was released earlier this year. Since then, Zauner has appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live !, CBS This Morning: Saturday and the Summer Game Fest. Her long-awaited soundtrack for the video game Sable recently got a September 23 release date.
