Last month, we heard the gorgeous orchestral cover of 1980s synth-pop cut “Tarantula” that Beck recorded for the soundtrack of director Alfonso Cuaron’s Roma. On February 5th, Beck visited The Late Late Show With James Corden to perform the song — and he brought along the Los Angeles Philharmonic and a few of his best singer-songwriter pals for good measure.
It’s a lovely performance of the song, which was originally recorded in 1982 by 4Ad band Colourbox and later popularized through a cover by This Mortal Coil, the band led by 4Ad founder Ivo Watts-Russell.
