In a dispatch from her tour with Local Natives, Laurel Sprengelmeyer, a.k.a. Little Scream, shares the new video for “Silent Moon” from her album, Cult Following. Produced and edited by Sprengelmeyer and directed by Kaveh Nabatian, the video stars New Orleans underground drag queen Neon Burgundy and illustrates the longing found in the lyrics:

Silent moon I’d like to know
Why on earth you have to go
When I need you
And I need you more
When the day comes round

Of the inspiration behind the video, Laurel says: “I started writing the song ‘Silent Moon’ while in Hong Kong working on a film script in 2014 after seeing Tsai Ming-liang’s film The Wayward Cloud. The song and video were both inspired by a scene in that film where the main character sneaks into a reservoir at night, turns into a sea creature, and sings to the moon.”
