Envy Of None (RSD 2023)

RECORD STORE DAY 2023 RELEASE - SATURDAY 22/04/2023

LP (Picture Disc) - Limited to 200 Copies

ENVY OF NONE'S CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED DEBUT IS AVAILABLE ON PICTURE DISC LP EXCLUSIVELY FOR RSD The ambient, cinematic darkness that the collective creates evokes a powerful atmosphere that will excite superfans & new audiences alike. Alex Lifeson & Andy 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] hipgnosis 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 on 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) Following on from the excitement that followed the initial release in 2022, Kscope are proud to present a limited Picture Disc edition for Record Store Day 2023.
