After living in America for the past 4 years, former Edmontonian Doug Hoyer has returned to Canada with his 5th album in tow.

“Character Witness”, released by Mangled Tapes, is a collage of sketches, crafted tales of various lonely figures fleshed out. From runaways and the cops that chase them, camp counselors who fall in love, futuristic dystopias, sellout businessmen and bodybuilders, Hoyer’s latest album is a humorous reflection on the despondency and internalization of modern life.
