Doug Hoyer under the stylistic umbrella of greats like Jonathan Richman and Jens Lekman, but with ukulele in tow, Hoyer's songs also take on their own distinct charm. On "Lakes of Mars"—the B-Side to his forthcoming 7-inch on Canadian label
Old Ugly—Hoyer discusses exploring far away galaxies, dreaming of a chat with God, and getting lost in someone's eyes all while a pounding rhythm section and hook-laden melodies wrap a stranglehold around your ears. Order the 7-inch for $7 or download both tracks digitally free
