Kyle Craft’s release on April 29th, 2016 from his excellent debut album Dolls of Highland is our video of the day. I love the way the piano talks to the guitar and then those lush screaming vocals, so dramatic and reeling. This song gives me all the feels of a Queen song and the video is dark and playful. Kyle Craft is mesmerizing and says he was heavily influenced by Dylan and Bowie. Growing up in Louisiana, he is now in Portland.
Dolls of Highland crashes open with “Eye of a Hurricane,” a whirlwind of ragtime piano and Craft’s dynamic, enthralling vocals. He calls it a “jealous song,” stirred up by the memories of an ill-fated crush and a drama of “weird little connections, a spider web of what the fuck?” available on Sub Pop Records
