Samia Shares 'Making Breakfast (Twin Peaks Cover)' Ahead of Tour With Bleachers
The tour will kick off May 18th in Salt Lake City.

Samia has returned with a cover of “Making Breakfast” by Grand Jury labelmates, Twin Peaks. This new rendition comes just ahead of Samia’s Tour Dates supporting Bleachers and commemorates the 10th anniversary of the Grand Jury label, which began in 2014 with the release of Twin Peaks’ album Wild Onion, on which the beloved original version of “Making Breakfast” appears.
According to Samia: "I was already a massive Twin Peaks fan when I met with Grand Jury, so when I signed there I was just so thrilled to be on the same roster as them. Wild Onion was like a lightning strike of a record. And ‘Making Breakfast’ is just a perfectly-written song, painfully simple and effortlessly cool. It was my first choice as soon as I was approached about doing a cover. I hope we did it justice."
This year, Samia has graced the covers of Vulkan Magazine and byline, and Rolling Stone recently called her “one of indie rock's most poignant songwriters” in their Future 25 issue celebrating rising artists, remarking on how Samia is “better than almost anyone at turning fleeting moments into poetry” following the release of her acclaimed sophomore album, 2023’s Honey.
Honey and its singles landed on various 2023 year-end best-of lists including Rolling Stone, The FADER, Vulture, Paste, PopMatters, and Nashville Scene, and was surrounded by extensive touring to ever-increasing audiences, including headline dates, and notable performances opening for the likes of Maggie Rogers, Noah Kahan, and boygenius along with appearances at festivals including Outside Lands and All Things Go. Honey includes the singles “Kill Her Freak Out” (which Olivia Rodrigo called the “Best Song Ever”), “Mad At Me,” “Pink Balloon” + Sea Lions,” “Honey” + “Breathing Song” and led to a performance of “Dream Song” for The Late Show with Stephen Colbert's #LateShowMeMusic, and a visit to the NPR offices for what would be Bob Boilen’s last Tiny Desk Concert before his retirement, giving him a warm send off with tender performances of “Is There Something In The Movies?,” “Big Wheel,” “Winnebago,” “Triptych,” and “Pool” from her breakthrough debut album, 2020’s The Baby.
