DPCD (tape release) with Bret Koontz & Focus Group LLC

DPCD is the work of Illinois musician Alec Watson. Embracing the American song tradition with quiet intensity, the music contains warm repetitions on family history, daily routine, and memory.

DPCD released their second album, False Virtue, in 2019.

"Koontz has the ability to thaw that element of crystallization where the pastorals of the past are resurrected to resume their former glory in the present moment; full of feeling & a reckoning that brings the all but forgotten sentiments of yesterday closer to the compasses that point to future directions." - Impose Magazine
