Yeah Yeah Yeahs frontwoman Karen O has been keeping busy during quarantine, and now she has enlisted guitarist Nick Zinner for a new isolation-friendly performance of the band's Show Your Bones track, "Phenomena."

Appearing again from the comfort of her closet, the frontwoman tapped Zinner in via video call, so they could perform the song together via Instagram. Despite obvious limitations, the duo manage to put on a fairly elaborate, theatrical rendition of the 2006 song, donning costumes and letting smoke machine clouds billow within the tiny space.

"Fuckin' party on," O yells during the performance, adding in the caption, "Party anywhere (closet) anytime (any day of the week) safe at home."

Last month, O had shared a similar performance of the band's early catalogue cut, "Our Time."
