The Brooklyn-based band Late Cambrian is celebrating the launch of their latest single, \u201cInto The Lilac Tree,\u201d with a party to unveil the music video.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n The indie rock band released the song on Oct. 19 on streaming services. The song was inspired by their love for the Robert Eggers movie \u201cNosferatu,\u201d which came out in 2024.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI like the idea of a kind of supernatural creature becoming obsessed with a human and then trying to coax them into an eternal relationship with them,\u201d said John Wlaysewski, singer and lead guitarist for Late Cambrian. \u201cIt kind of says things about relationships in general and how weird and unbalanced they can be, and then how that can also be seen as romantic.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n The music video for \u201cInto The Lilac Tree\u201d was directed by King Z, who worked with the band to help bring the song to life by utilizing their inspirations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI had mentioned to him that I was inspired by \u2018Nosferatu\u2019 and by movies in general, and he just somehow took that and ran with it and turned it into a weird kind of modern \u2018Wizard of Oz\u2019 theme,\u201d said Wlaysewski.<\/span><\/p>\n The video follows a Dorothy-esque character who goes on her own somewhat cosmic Oz-like adventure, trying to get away from a witch. The video features Wlaysewski and the rest of the band (lead singer Olivia Hui, guitarist Eric Zeeder, bassist Matthew Milligan and drummer Ben Weiss), Savannah Fox as Dorothy, Frank Conniff as the pastor, and Susannah Pryce as the mysterious woman. The video also features Kazu Imafuku, Nico Spataro, Serge Roy, Liv Webster, Emmie Rose, Aurora O, Alexis Fisher, Samuel Fry, Asyl \u201cSelena\u201d Anzurez, and Maria Elena.<\/span><\/p>\n The music video\u2019s visuals have horror and gothic undertones while utilizing a brighter, more saturated color palette.\u00a0<\/span>\n<\/p>\n \u201c[King Z] took what I said about a forever love being kind of romantic, but also scary, and spun that into a weird story about the Dorothy character running from adulthood and then running from this witch and finding out later that the witch is a future version of herself,\u201d said Wlaysewski.<\/span><\/p>\n On Nov. 10, Late Cambrian will host a <\/span>launch party<\/span><\/a> at Gymnopedie in Bushwick to release the music video for \u201cInto The Lilac Tree.\u201d Those who attend will be able to hang out with the band while they debut the video. Guests will also receive a cassette tape of \u201cInto The Lilac Tree\u201d to keep.<\/span><\/p>\n Wlaysewski hopes that those who watch the video, either at the party or online following the release, are able to inspire their own journey from the story and visuals.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s about the journey. I want people to feel like maybe they\u2019re Dorothy and they\u2019re on their own journey, when they get to the Emerald Tower of Cambrian and it\u2019s not exactly what they thought,\u201d said Wlaysewski.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cInto The Lilac Tree\u201d is now streaming on <\/span>Spotify<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Apple Music<\/span><\/a>.
