With this new album, the Canadian- American supergroup boldly ventures into a spectrum of new guises--from alt-pop & industrial rock to synthwave & hard rock. Recorded primarily in Toronto in 2024 & entirely self-produced, Stygian Waves is the culmination of each member's distinct musical vision, blending haunting melodies, moreish riffs & richly layered electronic textures into a compelling & 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 frst 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 Alfo Annibalini (guitar, keyboards), Coney Hatch's Andy Curran (bass, programming, guitar) & features Canadian session legend Randy Cooke (Mick Jagger, Alanis Morisette, Kelly Clarkson) on drums. Their debut exceeded expectations, with Record Collector describing it as "rich in creativity" in a 4- star review, & France's Rock Hard Magazine naming it Album of the Month & praising its "effective, modern, inspired tracks." The band's playing oozes conviction & class, Lifeson's guitar work more inventive & powerful than ever, but it's the talismanic Maiah Wynne - now hailing from San Francisco - who truly defnes Envy of None's sound. With her pensive, deft lyricism & impassioned vocal performance, Wynne pushes Stygian Waves into fresh, mesmerizing territory. The 11 songs on the album mark a signifcant progression in the band's sound, every song meticulously lasered down to its most essential & captivating elements. With the band's very own Alf Annibalini on mixing duties, the songs beneft from an intrinsic understanding of their evolution, his involvement in the writing process ensuring the mix truly captures the essence of their vision. Mastering by Harry Hess at HBomb Mastering (Barenaked Ladies, Billy Talent, Big Wreck) completes the album's fawless sound quality. With Stygian Waves, Envy of None overcomes any challenges typically associated with the notoriously tricky second album. Sharper, tighter & more memorable than anything they've done before, Stygian Waves is the work of a band at the top of their game -- & still only just getting started.
