Winded

Motherhood's newest release, Winded, dives headlong into a narrative that explores the natural world as it mirrors human suffering. The avant-punk trio spin a yarn about navigating a straight line through a storm, "persevering perhaps for no good reason." With colourful, hip-hop influenced lyrics floating over relentless, complex rhythms, Motherhood tackles heady metaphors with ease, whipping through sweet fuzz-pop, sludgy stomps and ragged breakneck punk to deliver a 9-track album that pulses, stings and washes over the listener. It was written in empty shuttered local spaces during the pandemic lockdowns of 2020. Recorded in a small analog studio, Winded was mixed by Deerhoof's Greg Saunier, and features guest vocals from Les Hay Babies' Julie Aubé and Katrine Noël. Motherhood has been setting deep thoughts to rippin' music since they were kids, and their tireless boundary-pushing has built a catalogue brimming with bold experimental work. Winded,
