"    Photo: Peter Larson   &amp;quot;We are fortunate to have such talented friends,&amp;quot; says Jess Wolfe, vocalist for buzzing NYC-based indie-pop outfit Lucius, reflecting on her band&amp;#039;s decision to cover Freelance Whales&amp;#039;s Ghosting, which you can now stream exclusively on ELLE.com. It&amp;#039;s part of a fundraising compilation the five-piece band recently put together. The project finds the group tune-swapping with a host of other killer musical crews\u2014all peers and friends of the band. &amp;quot;We hope we did the song justice,&amp;quot; Wolfe says, modestly, &amp;quot;while adding our own personal mark.&amp;quot; The members of Lucius\u2014Wolfe, Holly Laessig, Danny Molad, Peter Lalish, and Andrew Burri\u2014certainly put their distinctive touch on the track: in Lucius&amp;#039;s hands, Ghosting becomes a sonic luau\u2014a lilting lullaby anchored by angelic harmonies.   &amp;quot;[Holly and I] started by using our voices to emulate some of the original instrumental parts,&amp;quot; Wolfe says, breaking down the band&amp;#039;s recording process for the cut. &amp;quot;The boys came in and added percussive elements, guitar, and sang the outro as a sort of musical dialogue.&amp;quot; The outside-the-box cover album caps off what was an impressive year for Lucius\u2014one that saw the band release their critically acclaimed self-titled debut EP and tour with the likes of Milo Greene and JD McPherson. They&amp;#039;re currently on the road through the end of the year. \u202A        \u202C "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
