Princess Goes To The Butterfly Museum Unveils Official Video For ‘Vicious’
A fun and simple video shot on the subways of NYC before quarantine
Avant-indie trip Princess Goes To The Butterfly Museum just released the official music video for their single “Vicious.” The video was shot early in March on the subways of NYC, and it was directed by Samantha Scaffidi who used 16mm film – just before self-quarantine restrictions came into play.
“Nobody knew what was coming,” said Peter Yanowitz about Princess Goes To The Butterfly Museum’s “Vicious.” “The idea of lockdown and social distancing wasn’t even a thought, and nobody was in a mask. Of course, on March 13th, everything changed in New York City, and we could have never made that video after that without being the biggest assholes around. And in that sense, we feel really lucky. Looking at it now fills me with a lot of emotions and some melancholy. I miss that NYC so much.”
Princess Goes To The Butterfly Museum begins the “Vicious” music video on the subway. The trio is seen frolicking around as if everything was normal. Michael C. Hall sings into his microphone as he looks around him on the subway platform, and Matt Katz-Bohen carries a keyboard with him. The band walks through the platform cool and slick as they jam out to the music, sip from their mugs, and bother the people around them like a true New Yorker. The video is fun and simple, and one that the band can especially appreciate since it was shot just before the city of New York took a rest.
Last month, Princess Goes To The Butterfly Museum released their self-titled debut EP, garnering praise from outlets such as Paper, American Songwriter, and Associated Press.
In addition to Michael C. Hall’s show-stopping voice and huge range, the trio features two other world-class musicians – Peter Yanowitz has played with everyone from The Wallflowers to Natalie Merchant and Matt Katz-Bohen regularly performs with Blondie and Cyndi Lauper. Together, the band offers an intoxicating and adventurous mix of experimental songs that transcend genre to incorporate everything from distorted synth rock and ethereal electronics to dreamy folk and R&B.
Princess Goes To The Butterfly Museum will release even more new music throughout 2020. Stay tuned for updates and information!
