Phoebe Bridgers and Conor Oberst are currently on tour together as Better Oblivion Community Center. At tonight’s stop in Brooklyn, they performed a rendition of Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper’s Grammy-winning A Star is Born duet “Shallow.” Bridgers and Oberst were also joined by Yeah Yeah Yeahs guitarist Nick Zinner for the cover. Watch it here via Brooklyn Vegan.
So far, Better Oblivion Community Center’s run has also featured covers of Death Cab for Cutie (“Title and Registration”) and the Killers (“Human”). Bridgers and Oberst shared their collaborative project earlier this year. They also dropped a Michelle Zauner (Japanese Breakfast)-directed video for their track “Dylan Thomas.”
