about

Growing up skateboarding and playing music in the Los Angeles DIY scene became the foundation of how Alance Ward’s music would always sound. Moving to Chicago to record and tour with various bands is how he learned to refine that sound. Being immersed in Chicago’s creative atmosphere Alance found himself playing drums on tours for artists like Jim Fairchild, formally of Modest Mouse, and the duo Azure Ray. All the while unconsciously filing away ideas that would become his solo music project, Winded.

After experiencing a recent esoteric awakening, Alance relied on a cocktail of intuition and instinct rather than beers and booze to make his latest Winded recording. Adopting an automatic writing practice gave way to the hybrid style heard on Deap Phat. Like some kind of post punk parallax, the songs seem to morph in woozy ways with each listen.

“Living in an urban environment has always shaped my music. I’ve always used the loud energies as a tool, but recently I feel more like I’m transmuting my environment. I’m inverting the energy into something more positive, rather than using it as a hammer to thrash around. It feels like Instead of swimming in the dark stuff around me, I’m just maxing out on the shore laughing at it.”

A whirlwind of hybrid post-punk / post-funk, 'Deap Phat' chops and skews through riffs, beats and electrofried psychedelia

Sacred Winged Door

Cassette version of this beauty arrived today, oh my god this is GOOD. 4 extended pieces that see a sort of jazzy new age prog completely colliding with Cold War era retro-waves. Imagine the sun beating down on a Soviet tower block. Highly recommended. knightd68

A great collection of music. Some understated, some powerful. Hound Trails reminds me of Sci-Fi soundtracks. Striding Edge is a moving soundscape filled with very infectious rhythms. teraley

A fascinating mash-up of jazz sensibility with Krautrock motorik on an album that mesmerizes with repetition. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 17, 2023
