The Instrumental Ward is a producer duo comprised of Jaded and Manik. Today we bring you the duo's self titled album from 2001.
I'm not exactly sure about the history of the Ward, nor am I sure what they're up to today. The duo's 2003 release, "Physiology, Hygiene, Narcotics" got some coverage, but I haven't really heard from either of them since. You might recognize Manik as a part of The WhyKnows (alongside Existereo, Innaspace, and Jeremy Owens.) I have next to no info on this debut release, aside from the physical CD I copped years ago in some blind buy.
This project is comprised mainly of darker noisy landscapes, often fit for some off-kilter sci-fi flick. The duo does do a pretty good job of never letting the tracks get away from themselves, though if you're not super into experimental sounds, this may not be your cup o tea. If you do like that darker weird shit, however, be sure to peep.
If anyone knows what either of these guys are up to today, drop a comment!
