Midweek Motivations: Princess Goes to the Butterfly Museum (Michael C. Hall)

Princess Goes to the Butterfly Museum is a synth-pop band put together by Michael C. Hall, aka Dexter, during the covid pandemic. The band is called Princess Goes to the Butterfly Museum and also includes Peter Yanowitz on drums and Matt Katz-Bohen on keytar. I’m a huge synth-pop fan so I dig this! The videos are wild and effect-filled!

The video, shot directed and edited by Dylan Mars Greenberg, reflects the early MTV aesthetic and nostalgia, but with more modern effects. Watch it here!

Another video from the group features Michael C. Hall, sounding very Bowie-esque, with his head on fire. After about 30 seconds, they cut to a shot with Matt Katz-Bohen playing a keytar, that looks as if it were shot through a glass floor. The video is simple and experimental, and interesting. The butterflies swarming their heads is oddly fun to watch.
