After living in the US for several years, eclectic singer-songwriter Doug Hoyer has returned to Canada with a new album in tow. “Character Witness” is a collage of sketches, the tales of various lonely figures fleshed out. From runaways and the cops that chase them, to futuristic dystopias, sellout businessmen and bodybuilders, Hoyer’s latest album is a reflection on the despondency and internalization of modern life, with lol's.
