Proud to be premiering the music video for ‘Walk’ on This Week in Pop with Impose Magazine. Shot by Bob Ness and David T. Kindler. Thanks to Sjimon Gompers for the kind words about the song and some of the things I do in Pop –and thanks to everyone who helped out!
Absolutely thrilled to have a track on this comp alongside a lot of dear friends and contempos. It’s always good when someone decides to showcase the more avant side of this amazing and complicated town. Thanks to Emily and thanks to Love Lion!
Love Lion’s Chicago-centric release is now available for pre-order (official release date 1/26/18). It features my newest track ‘Gloaming, Nightshade’ as well as new material by ONO, Melina Ausikaitis & Angela Mullenhour, Matt Jencik, John Bellows, Famous Laughs, HIDE,Michuel Beau Wanzer, Quarter Mile Thunder, Wet Key, Sweet Cobra, Gula-Gila, Lilac, Alex Barnett, Brett Naucke, FACS, Justin Demus, Jeremiah Meece, AZITA, & Equip.
Realized I neglected to post much about the whirlwind tour John Bellows and I went on in August/September this past year of the Midwest, Northeast, & South. The schedule gives you an idea and some key moments are frozen in a loop on Instagram (Â https://www.instagram.com/bret_koontz/ ). True to the nature of a tour, though, the most integral moments are rooted firmly IRL and exist only as a shared memory.

Tiny Mix Tapes had some nice things to say about Low Light Trades and gave me the opportunity to answer some questions about how and why it was made. Now officially available as a digi-rascal or cassette pre-order.
