An acoustic piece that I plan to expand to a more full arrangement, but I like its stripped-down bareness right now.
indie rock shoegaze acoustic ambient folk experimental avant garde postrock
A mixture of indie, rock, experimental, ambient, acoustic folk, post rock, and instrumental.
Hey, i'm Jake, and these are some songs and demos I've made (usually by myself) over the past couple of years. I've been in quite a few bands throughout those years, and when I'm not playing, writing, or jamming with my friends and other musicians, i'm usually fiddling around with music on my own and recording random song ideas floating around in my head. I like to play and write stuff that falls into the categories of indie rock, alt-rock, shoegaze, experimental, ambient, acoustic folk, jazz, and electronic (although I try to escape the confinements of genres as much as possible). I mainly play piano, keyboards, drums/percussion, and guitar, but I dabble in others like banjo, mandolin, harmonica, bass, and kazoo. I'm obsessed with weird sounds, I guess you could say, and I'm constantly trying to find new ways to create sound via arrangements, effects, synths, happy accidents, etc. Although pretty much all of my posted songs are solo stuff, I enjoy making music much more in collaborative efforts, and am always on the lookout for any possible jam session. Enjoy!

Story behind the song
I started writing it abstractly, but it sort of evolved into a song that reflects the feelings towards living in a world full of hate and destruction, and eventually leaving society in favor of a simple existence in the middle of nowhere. The name "Yellowknife" comes from a city in Canada, where we might run away to if America just ain't cuttin' it for us.
