Brandon Berry is master of media and his fascination with various formats permeates his brand of infectious power pop. He’s an talented writer with a knack for thoughtful critique and wonderfully creative videographer. He’s also one of our time’s most infectious songwriters and a powerpop genius.

Amusing Ourselves to Death is a public discourse on society’s relationship with media written in 1985 by Neil Postman which takes a cautionary stance on the rise of digital information and entertainment. The aptly named new album by The Paint Splats of the same title takes a much more cheeky position and finds a narrator obsessed with A/V of yesteryear, using them to relay stories and sentiments that fit better there.

Go listen to this record and imagine what it looks like to see these songs play in real life or from your VCR to tube television.
