    The physical release of the Doll EP is pressed onto a single 7" record, with a jacket that boasts a mixture of reverseboard offset printing as well as screen printed overlays, giving it the touch of a mixed media art piece. Combining the digital printed photography and the grit & texture of the screen printing makes this a unique art piece, complete with gorgeous new music.

Eyes 01:55
I have hope you’ll come home soon In my heart there is only you Let’s close this distance and start anew Your eyes destroy me I still melt for you
2.
Say what you always wanted to say Don’t leave until you try The truth will always set you free As it kills me My heart is crying Do what you always wanted to do Don’t stop until you find The happiness that you seek Something that I could not provide You force the rain To feel the sun We were so close to stopping this storm But your heart, it gave up Move on if you want to move on Cut me out of your whole life Hide away the memories of us I still hold on I’m still trying Let go if you want to let go The sunshine of the spotless mind Forget all seven years of time I hope you don’t forget this voice of mine I’ll wait here in the apartment we made a home I’ll wait here in the apartment we called home
3.
How many games do I play Before it’s enough How many times must I lose Before I prove I’m lost And I know and I know and I know Hearts aren’t made or carved out of stone And I know and I know and I know Mine is gone Oh my sweet bird Please stay awhile All for me And I’ll never say goodbye For you are the one I will always love I know it’s wrong Not to tell you everything To keep you breathing at my own pace And I’m sorry if I Keep you hanging by Please don’t let me steal a piece of your mind
4.
Loss 02:31
Please don’t curse my name If I let you down I’m still learning As life carries out So please sweet child I mean you no harm Will you see This love won’t leave if you fall We all lose We all fall But the best of us Accept our faults So please forgive this loss Forgive this loss, Forgive this loss, Forgive this loss

about

Doll is an exploration of catharsis through song, endured and then captured by songwriter Bryan Louie (The Twin, Joshua Fit For Battle), performing under the moniker Kai Mark. The 4 songs on the Doll EP were originally penned while in complicated relationships that ultimately met their end, and the themes that run through them are soaked in noir penitence.

In the frigid Brooklyn winter of late 2019 and early 2020, Doll was put to tape with the help of engineer and musician Jon Tehel (Aircrafting, Gunboat). Initially meant to just be a personal release of emotions to never see the light of day due to its raw honesty, friends who heard the tracks encouraged Louie to reveal the songs to the world in hope that others could find healing in them as well.
