Carl Mann on SoundBetter

Indie/Jangle Pop Producer, Mixer, Session Guitarist & Songwriter (Kylie Minogue, Sleeper, The Shop Window, Shapes Like People)

Hey, I’m Carl Mann. I am a songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, producer, and mix engineer based in the UK.
If you are looking for classic, hook-driven jangle pop, modern indie pop, shoegaze or lush dream pop, I can take your music from a rough acoustic demo to a fully produced, radio-ready record. My sound is defined by shimmering guitar layers, tight rhythmic hooks, and authentic, spacious arrangements that bring out the true emotion of a melody.
With decades of experience across the music industry—ranging from co-writing "Ocean Blue" for Kylie Minogue to writing, tracking, and producing everything behind the critically acclaimed releases for The Shop Window and Shapes Like People—I know exactly how to build a track that captures a listener's attention. I handle the entire pipeline: writing the hooks, tracking custom live guitars, arranging, and mixing.
Let's collaborate to give your next project that timeless indie edge.

Production & Songwriting: Hooky indie pop, jangle pop, shoegaze, and dream pop. (Influences: The Sundays, Mazzy Star, ALVVAYS, Ride, The Smiths).
Guitar Textures: Sparkling 12-string style jangle, chorus-drenched rhythm parts, atmospheric ambient swells, and driving indie rock riffs.
Mixing & Engineering: Clean, punchy rhythm sections combined with rich vocal production and expansive stereo width.

Prices all negotiable depending on project.
