Netherfriends – “Brett Easton Ellis Novel” Music Video

It’s not the best quality video, but it seems intentionally campy, like a stop-motion animation founded on webcams or point-and-shoot cameras. The resulting video for “Brett Easton Ellis Novel” (one has to wonder, did they really misspell Bret Easton Ellis on purpose?) is a homegrown piece of fun without all of the bells and whistles.
