Limited edition signed CDs and LPs available
Envy Of None, the inventive new group with Rush’s Alex Lifeson, Coney Hatch’s Andy Curran, Alfio Annibalini, and Maiah Wynne, has launched its webstore with two limited edition items: signed CDs and LPs of their debut.
There are only 100 copies of the white vinyl version and special deluxe edition box set featuring a blue LP, 2 CDs with bonus tracks, remixes and an instrumental, and 28 page book with lyrics and track-by-track song guide by the band. This blue vinyl in this deluxe edition is different than the blue vinyl in the standard LP version.
The autographed white vinyl edition was sold out before publishing. There are still autographed copies of the box available as of press time.
The album’s 11 tracks – which ricochet between various shades of alternative, experimental and synth rock – throw surprises at every turn, twisting dark melodies against contemporary pop hooks. Lifeson himself is proudly aware of how little of it crosses over with the band that made him famous.
The album’s first single, “Liar,” is a track full of industrial beats, driving fuzz bass and atmospheric guitars that concoct a seductive swirl, thrilling in ways closer to the darker art rock of Depeche Mode, Nine Inch Nails and A Perfect Circle than anything these musicians have been known for prior.
The album closer, “Western Sunset,” which was penned by Lifeson in tribute to his dear friend Neil Peart. It’s a highly emotive piece of music to honor a man deeply missed by the rock community at large, and even more so by those who were lucky enough to know him. “I visited Neil when he was ill,” says Alex Lifeson. “I was on his balcony watching the sunset and found inspiration. There’s a finality about a sunset that kinda stayed with me throughout the whole process. It had meaning. It was the perfect mood to decompress after all these different textures… a nice way to close the book.”
