Brian Noyes Record Release at Clock-Out Lounge

Brian Noyes, a Seattle singer-songwriter known for his psych-pop work with Tomten and as a touring keyboardist for Papercuts, celebrates the release of a new record at Clock-Out Lounge. He shares the bill with E. Ellison, the Portland-based project from the artist previously known as Cardioid, whose debut full-length Pillars was built from field and home recordings made between 2021 and 2023. Tomo Nakayama, born in Japan and raised in Seattle, brings his melodic, emotionally rich songs to the night, backed by DJ Mike Nipper.

The intimate Beacon Hill venue sets the scene for an evening of Pacific Northwest talent, ranging from Noyes’s psych-pop leanings to Nakayama’s critically praised songwriting and Ellison’s deliberately imperfect, lo-fi recordings. It’s a chance to hear new music from artists deeply embedded in Seattle and Portland’s independent music scenes, all in a cozy lounge setting.
