Trademarks by Luke Brawner

The songs included on this album were written, one per day, from April 22-28, 2025. They were written as a means of processing and excavating the disorienting sense of loss and grief that accompanied, much to my surprise, the Dallas Mavericks trading their young superstar, Luka Dončić, to the Los Angeles Lakers. I struggled to understand why such a trivial event (in the grand scheme of all that's happening in the world) affected me so deeply. Each of these songs, in some way, touches on or draws from that story. They are not songs about basketball. They are songs about loss, change, identity, and the meaning we tend to assign to impermanent things. They are an attempt to explore many of my own feelings, empathize with the feelings of others, and examine the places where our experiences intersect.

Fort Worth native singer/songwriter exploring the sacredness in all of life’s mysteries. Occasionally with reverence.
