Envy of None - Stygian Waves - Deluxe Boxset 140gm Transparent Green & Black Marble Vinyl, CD & - VINYL LP

Envy Of None Return With Highly Anticipated Second Album Stygian Waves. Presented On Limted Blue Vinyl And Mastered At Half-Speed. Stygian Waves builds on the impeccable musicianship and stellar songwriting of Envy of None's eponymous, acclaimed 2022 debut. With this new album, the Canadian-American supergroup boldly ventures into a spectrum of new guises - from alt-pop and industrial rock to synthwave and hard rock. Recorded primarily in Toronto in 2024 and entirely self-produced, Stygian Waves is the culmination of each member's distinct musical vision, blending haunting melodies, moreish riffs, and richly layered electronic textures into a compelling and unique sound. There was a palpable sense of anticipation in the air when Envy of None announced their debut in 2022. After all, it marked the first full-band project from world-renowned guitarist Alex Lifeson since his groundbreaking work with the legendary prog-rock trio Rush. Lifeson joined forces with a remarkable lineup rising star Maiah Wynne on vocals, esteemed producer Alfio Annibalini (guitar, keyboards), Coney Hatch's Andy Curran (bass, programming, guitar), and features Canadian session legend Randy Cooke (Mick Jagger, Alanis Morisette, Kelly Clarkson) on drums. Their debut exceeded expectations, with Record Collector describing it as Inchrich in creativityInch in a 4-star review, and France's Rock Hard Magazine naming it Album of the Month and praising it's Incheffective, modern, inspired tracks.Inch The band's playing oozes conviction and class, Lifeson's guitar work more inventive and powerful than ever, but it's the talismanic Maiah Wynne - now hailing from San Francisco - who truly defines Envy of None's sound. With her pensive, deft lyricism and impassioned vocal performance, Wynne pushes Stygian Waves into fresh, mesmerizing territory. The 11 songs on the album mark a significant progression in th

Sow Your Gold in the White Foliated Earth exists first as a curator's fancy - in this casefrom Oslo's Ultima Festival for contemporary music in 2014. The idea was to give reveredNorwegian experimental electronic musician Helge Sten, aka Deathprod, access toseminal avant-garde composer Harry Partch's self-designed, custom-made, specialized,invented instruments - an orchestra tuned to just intonation, using up to 43 intervalsinstead of the standard 12 for the most commonly used Western equal temperament.An artist with a 30+ year career and an uncompromising reputation that reflects theemotional specificity of his uneasy, yet compelling sound, maintained throughout hisexpansive discography, Sten was an intriguing choice for such a project. Although heattended art school, training in electronic music and sound art, he had little experiencewith acoustic instruments and can neither read nor write music notation. Yet he's beenengaged with Partch's music, and outsider art more generally, since he was a teenager.His resulting piece/composition for the project was originally intended only forperformance by Cologne-based Ensemble Musikfabrik, for a series of concerts in fiveEuropean cities between 2015 and 2018. It's Musikfabrik that undertook the painstaking,expensive process of building an entire set of the composer's creations - the second onlyto the originals built by Partch himself. They are the professional musicians and virtuosicinstrumentalists that had to re-train and re-educate on these unknown and experimentalsound sculptures in non-standard tunings. And they house this large, gorgeous physicalinstrumentarium and deal with the enormous logistics of working with it, sometimesshipping the fragile pieces to other locales via semi-trucks or ships.Because of such monumental efforts, Musikfabrik are notoriously guarded withrecordings of the instruments. And rightly so. They
