ENVY OF NONE IS THE NEW BAND & DEBUT ALBUM FROM ALEX LIFESON (RUSH), ANDY CURRAN (CONEY HATCH), ALFIO ANNIBALINI & SINGER MAIAH WYNNE.
The ambient, cinematic darkness that the collective creates evokes a powerful atmosphere that will excite superfans & new audiences alike. Lifeson & Curran�s long-time friendship was the catalyst for the band�s inception - but Envy Of None is not defined by its members resumes - they aren�t Rush or Coney Hatch & far more than the sum of its collective parts.
Above the beautiful cacophony of guitars, synths, bass & drums sits the fragile melodies of 24-year old vocalist Maiah Wynne - the newest name in Envy Of None�s impressive personnel. Hearing Mariah�s voice intertwined with the music will bring back memories of when you heard Shirley Manson of Garbage or Amy Lee of Evanescence for the first time. Wynne brings charm & beauty to these recordings in spades - with floating hooks & emotive lyrics transcending the oftentimes textural aesthetic.
The Storm Thorgerson-esque visuals that grace the cover may remind fans of Lifeson�s earlier work - Andy Curran explains: �[the] Hypnosis style artwork of albums like Pink Floyd & Led Zeppelin & others were so eye catching, surreal & attention grabbing & we wanted to scratch that itch. We were instantly drawn to Lebanese photographer Eli Rezkallah at Plastik�s photography & design work. We fell in love with a bunch of his work - we had a hard time choosing something because he had so many great images�. However, the 70�s prog/Rush comparisons may end with the artwork - the music that this ensemble creates treads new ground with each track throughout their 42-minute debut, from industrial/electronic influences to post-progressive soundscapes. Envy Of None create a sound that will haunt, comfort & ignite.
If you can picture maybe Massive Attack with a little bit of some electronic stuff with Nine Inch Nails influences, with this beautiful, fragile, sweet voice & some very, very dark heavy sounds - Andy Curran (Envy Of None)
