Dr Mann’s latest release: ”Ciggies”

Dr Mann started out a solo project from Sunshine Coast based artist Danny Mann and on December 22, the first single, “Stubborn Mule,” was published. Numerous radio stations, including 4ZZZ, Double J, KXFM, and 2SER, provided outstanding reviews, press coverage, and support for the song.

With the addition of members Danny Mann (guitars, synths, vocals), Ines Burton (vocals, percussion, synths, guitar), Jaryd Miles(bass, vocals), Julian Bouliter (drums), and Stefan Unternaherer, the solo project has developed into a full band with a unique and intriguing sound.

With other performances planned, Dr Mann has already served as the opening act for Brooke McClymont, Adam Eckersley and Andy Golledge. Dr Mann has a distinct vibe that is influenced by both contemporary indie and psychedelic musicians like Wooden Ships, Rose City Band, John Andrews and the Yawns, Tobacco City, Nada Surf, Girls, Khruangbin, Joe Ghat, The Oogers and The Go Betweens, Lemonheads, Even Dando, and Cigarettes After Sex, as well as vintage West Coast cosmic country from the late 1960s and early 1970s.

The group is presently working on its debut EP, which will be completed in a few months and give fans a yearning glance of what else is to come. Danny produced and mixed “Ciggies”, which also had dreamy guitar riffs reminiscent of Mac Demarco, Peach Pit, or Pink Floyd. The song also included the Dr’s relatively mellow and softly spoken vocals as well as Ines’s sensuous French accent over a lo-fi hip-hop beat.
