Lawrence Rothman Shares Creepy Video for "Oz Vs. Eden" With Charli XCX

Update (11:07 a.m.): In a series of tweets, Charli distanced herself from the project. "I did backing vocals and asked to be uncredited as this does not represent the direction I am moving in as an artist," she said. Find her tweets below. 

Lawrence Rothman recently announced details of his forthcoming album. It'll include guests like Angel Olsen, Kim Gordon, Charli XCX, and Ariel Pink. Ahead of its 2016 release, he's shared the video for the track with Charli XCX, "Oz Vs. Eden". Directed by Floria Sigismondi, it takes place in a haunted house and features Rothman as his alter ego Kevin. Watch it below.

Rothman is working on the as-yet-untitled record with Justin Raisen, who worked on Sky Ferreira's Night Time, My Time and Charli XCX's True Romance, and is one half of Raw Deal with Ariel Pink. He previously shared "California Paranoia", his collaboration with Angel Olsen for the album.

I'm seeing a lot of articles going up about the wonderful new @LAWRENCEROTHMAN song. Just to clarify I am not/was never featured on this ❤️

I sang some "na's" in the studio for producer @JustinLRaisen. That's all. This beautiful song is all down to the vision of @LAWRENCEROTHMAN

I was not part of the writing/vision/production for this song. It was an uncredited vocal that for some reason went in the press release.
