Search - Jake Mann :: Daytime Ghost

Drawing from indie rock sounds and songwriter senses, Jake Mann's music chases a haunting tune through the degraded landscapes, late night reveries, and lost affairs of a smart small town. Arranged for quartet, the overdriven guitar and drums lay a foundation for crooning vocals, melodic basslines, and understated leads. Reviewers have drawn comparisons to the music of early Elvis Costello, Beulah, Guided By Voices & Neil Young. Jake came up as a songwriter in the microcosmic scene of Davis, California, forming fuzz-pop outfit The Zim-Zims in 2002 to bring his 4-track recordings to the live stage. He worked out his compositions over 3 years of shows across California and two independent releases. After completing a solo electric EP in 2005 and relocating to San Francisco, Jake collaborated in-studio with numerous bay area indie artists to produce some big sounds in the studio and on-stage.
