Jont Explores Gratitude, Loss, and Transcendence on ‘Walk Right Through’ LP Featuring “Ride On”

Arriving as a deeply personal and expansive body of work, Walk Right Through finds Jont at a creative and spiritual peak. Rooted in singer-songwriter, indie, and folk traditions, the album unfolds as a living document of presence, transformation, and emotional truth. It’s an offering shaped by years of perseverance, reflection, and hard-won clarity.

“I’m deep in the jubilation dancing that goes on when it’s gone right and your prayer of gratitude, your anthems to celebrate the essence of your being, are now somehow larger and more energetically witnessed by The Universe,” Jont shares. “In that space, all one can think and feel is ‘you know what? I actually did it. I did create one of those ones. One that will really count.’”

The project emerged during an intense and almost inexplicable creative surge. At the beginning of 2024, 10 songs arrived in 10 weeks, each carrying what Jont describes as the same urgent message: “Get me out. I want to be sung and heard now.” Rather than forcing the process, he followed it, allowing the material to reveal itself in real time.

Anchoring the album is its lead single, “Ride On,” a song that arrived under particularly meaningful circumstances. Written on the day of Jont’s dear friend Barbara’s passing, it carries both grief and release; an emotional threshold that sets the tone for the recording process that followed. 

Walk Right Through itself was captured during a singular, almost fated session. Recorded in one day at Sonic Temple Studio just before its closure, the session brought together Jont and his core collaborators in what he describes as a uniquely aligned state. “If you detect a special vibe in this album, that’s part of it,” he explains. “This was played by human beings in a certain state of mind. It’s us, on that day, in the studio.”

That immediacy remains central to the record’s sound. While later expanded with subtle production from Jont’s extended creative collective, the foundation is raw, present, and deeply human. The performances lean into openness and vulnerability, favouring emotional truth over perfection.
