Dynamic art-rocker Kristeen Young is debuting another video for her new single "Catland" today via Bullett Media. "Catland" will be the fourth preview of her highly anticipated eighth studio album Live at the Witch's Tit, co-produced by Young herself and Tony Visconti. The video, shot by Brian McClelland, follows an Alice in Wonderland-esque adventure through a bedroom portal to a darkly whimsical fantasy land that leads our protagonist to experience the strength to summon her own individualism.
Dalila Queiroz White, daughter of KRISTEENYOUNG band drummer Baby Jef, not only stars as the main character in the video, but also as the inspiration for the song itself. Kristeen elaborates, "Catland is a fantasy place where our drummer's daughter goes when someone is trying to tell her she is doing something the wrong way. She'll defiantly say, 'But, that's how we do it in Catland! Ok?!'...She often seems world-weary already at 5 years of age. I like that she's created a fantasy world that gives her strength to say 'no'".
Dalila offers her own explanation, saying, "Catland is a cute and peaceful place. I mean it used to [be]. Invaders from all over the galixi [sic] are trying to keep its treasures and beauty to themselves. Who will protect Catland?!"
