“Walking Through Walls” - AUNCE

There’s a moment, late at night or early in the quiet of morning, when the noise of the world fades and something else—quieter, deeper—starts to rise up. That’s where AUNCE’s new single “Walking Through Walls” lives. Not in the clubs, not even in the headphones of casual listeners. It lives in that space between thoughts, between expectations, between genres. And like its name suggests, this track doesn’t knock politely—it phases through the walls you didn’t even know you built.
Let’s start with what Walking Through Walls isn’t: it’s not a typical pop track, or conventional electronica, or an ambient lullaby. It doesn’t beg for a place on the radio, nor does it chase algorithm trends. What it is, is a genre-blurring, dream-slow journey that pulls you out of the modern frenzy and into a place of quiet rebellion—where stillness isn’t passive, but radical.
AUNCE (pronounced like “aunts” or “arnts”) has been quietly redefining what it means to be a producer, vocalist, and sonic visionary. Her early tracks—Beep Beep, Evergreen, Silver Sun, and Zoo Friend—already carved out a curious, richly layered identity for her sound: cerebral but emotional, abstract yet grounded. But Walking Through Walls marks a turning point. It’s slower. Bolder. It feels like she stopped sprinting and started floating.
There’s a beautiful tension at the heart of this song. The synths hover in some foggy middle ground between analog warmth and electronic eeriness. Rhythms throb softly—like a heartbeat remembered more than heard. AUNCE’s voice, both delicate and deliberate, guides you through the fog like a kind of sonic lighthouse. Her delivery is less performance and more invocation. It doesn’t demand attention; it invites it. Think late-night whispers, lucid dreams, a hand reaching out underwater.
Lyrically, the track is minimal, almost haiku-like in its restraint:
“I’m walking through walls
I’m distracted by the light inside
I’m walking through walls
Like there ain’t no underlying science
The wind gets whipped up around you
Just because it can”
It’s deceptively simple—otherworldly yet grounded in the kind of language you might use when trying to describe a feeling you don’t quite understand yet. It’s poetry from a dream journal, or maybe a message scribbled on the bathroom wall of the subconscious. This is music that sidesteps logic. It's intuition first, questions later.

AUNCE’s own words about the track peel back another layer. The song, she says, was born out of a need for stillness, for reconnection with the self away from the constant buzz of modern life. And you can hear that. This isn’t just music made in a studio—it feels like it was grown somewhere quiet and green. It’s organic and mystical, yet carefully engineered with the precision of a producer who has both a PhD in Music Production and a fierce curiosity about sound.
Huge credit to her collaborators, too: Chris Hyson co-wrote and co-produced, adding emotional weight and nuance. TJ Allen’s mix lets the track breathe without losing its focus, and Guy Davie’s mastering is subtle but immersive—keeping the final version expansive and headphone-friendly.
At its core, Walking Through Walls is a track about moving through barriers—mental, emotional, societal—and coming out softer, clearer, more human on the other side. It’s less of a song and more of an experience. One you don’t just hear—you feel.
Put on your headphones. Close your eyes. Let go of whatever you’re carrying. And walk through. AUNCE will meet you there.
