Brunch returns with “Please Kill Me” and “Man Alive” singles
The sound of existential angst and high-octane energy has found a new home in the scenic landscapes of Vermont, courtesy of a group of philosophy students who are turning their academic pursuits into a full-blown cultural experience.
These students have recently shared some seriously memorable music with the world, pairing their originals with double A-side singles “Please Kill Me” and “Man Alive”. The tracks offer a raw, spirited commentary that perfectly captures the often-complex, sometimes chaotic, yet ultimately exhilarating journey of young adulthood.
But their artistic offering goes beyond mere tracks. They’ve paired the music with a visual experience that feels less like a polished production and more like a spontaneous, heartfelt memory—a home movie style video.
The visuals themselves offer a delightful contrast to the intellectual weight of their majors. The video captures an authentic slice of life, set against the backdrop of a legendary American landmark: Devil’s Bowl Speedway. Shot in their adopted state, the footage marries the rustic charm of Vermont with the adrenaline rush of racing, creating a unique aesthetic that is both nostalgic and wildly energetic.
It is this blend—the deep contemplation of philosophy juxtaposed with the visceral thrill of speed and raw music—that makes their project so compelling. They have successfully used their environment as a canvas for an expressive statement, reminding viewers that the deepest truths are often found in the unexpected places.
This project serves as a vibrant testament to how creativity can bridge disparate worlds, turning college life into an adventure movie filmed on the open road and under the Vermont sky.
