The is the second single from the artist’s upcoming sophomore solo LP Seelie Court
Seattle, Washington based singer-songwriter Brian Noyes is an artist who has amassed a wealth of experience during his time as a member of the psych pop group Tomten and performing as a touring keyboardist for San Francisco band Papercuts, as well as releasing gorgeously textured and thoughtful psych-tinged baroque-pop as a solo artist, the latest release of which being new single ‘Dollhouse Man’.
The track has a really playful and fun feel to it, in part due to the artist coming up with it while playing with his daughter, and this makes for a really whimsical, fantasy feel to both the lyrics and the soundscape that ties in with his distinctive style really well. Throughout the new track, the artist’s nuance and creativity as an artist shines through, and his penchant for crafting immersive and stylish psych-pop feels as fun and charming as ever. ‘Dollhouse Man’ is just the second single from his upcoming new album Seelie Court, and we can’t wait to hear what else he has in store when the album comes out on March 7th.
“Dollhouse Man,” the second single off the record, has a familiar inspiration. Noyes explains: “The Kinks will probably always be my favorite band so it’s hard to deny a Ray Davies influence on this song. It slowly came to me while playing with my daughter and her toys so it’s quite literal although it’s a silly fantasy song. I got her an old fisher price phone with the smiling rosy cheeked face on it and that kickstarted the whole thing. “What if I was a toy man?” “maybe I’m slowly becoming one…” I used an older electric piano a Wurlitzer 140 B as the main keys on this song cause it has a wonky-er sound than the 200A, and I may or may not have been listening to the Gallery version of that cheesy Mac Davis song “I Believe In Music” when coming up with the moog solo.”
