Earlier this month we got news of a Yoko Ono covers compilation that's coming out on February 18 called Ocean Child: Songs of Yoko Ono. The project was compiled by Death Cab for Cutie’s Ben Gibbard and has a ton of major artists including David Byrne, Yo La Tengo, Sharon Van Etten, Death Cab, U.S. Girls, Amber Coffman, Deerhoof, and The Flaming Lips contributing tracks. Today, the second single from the project arrives with Japanese Breakfast's take on "Nobody Sees Me Like You Do."
In addition to the comp, we're also getting a podcast hosted by Gibbard. In the trailer, Japanese Breakfast's Michelle Zauner says of Ono: “She was the most—sort of—hated woman in music for a while—so unfairly—that I think, obviously, as an Asian woman, I sided with her, and saw her as a very deep and complex artist that was being unfairly judged by the world and how difficult that must have been. And it became very symbolic for me."
Hear Zauner's version below, and pre-order the comp here.
