Toronto’s Jay Draper, alongside his band The Subterraneans, has released a hauntingly captivating album titled Dollhouse. Featuring guest musicians, the album shines with the standout single “Self Control,” a slowed-down cover of the 80s classic that resonates with dark undertones and has been featured in the horror-mystery film MaXXXine. Tracks like “A Death in the Dollhouse” and “Only Hope” showcase an enchanting blend of post-punk influences and evocative lyrics, creating a gothic ambiance that balances dark romance with stark realism.
