Envy of None announces ‘Stygian Wavz’

The project is due on March 14th

Envy Of None is back with news of their much anticipated second album, Stygian Wavz, set for release on Kscope on March 14th. The announcement follows a recent flurry of activity from the Canadian/American band which saw them release two singles, “Not Dead Yet” and “Under The Stars,” both of which are included on the new album.

Envy Of None has shared a new single – album title track, alongside a new music video animated and directed by Mariano Biotico.

Though they’d never describe themselves as such, Envy Of None is the living, breathing definition of a supergroup. No other band on earth could rightly claim to have Alex Lifeson – one of rock’s most influential visionaries – heading up guitar duties, with Andy Curran of Coney Hatch and Soho 69 overseeing bass/programming as well as producer extraordinaire Alfio Annibalini on keyboards. However, the star in this band could very well be its youngest member – American singer-songwriter Maiah Wynne – whose wonderfully emotive vocals can spin the music in new exciting directions that thrill to the core.

On their self-titled debut of 2022, the group was able to prove that they were a lot more than the sum of their parts, with an abundance of panache and finesse poured into a contemporary alt-rock sound that was hard to predict and even harder to categorize. This year’s sophomore release, Stygian Wavz, is the sound of a band basking in the radiant glow of creative confidence and coming into their own, staggering the listener with every twist and turn encased within their heady mix of genre-splicing brilliance.

The album will be released in a selection of formats including colored vinyl, standard black vinyl, CD, Blu-ray, digitally, and as a special deluxe edition boxset. The box includes CD and Blu-ray, plus a gatefold green and black marble LP with individual band member prints. It also includes 12-page booklet featuring track-by-track notes from the band and exclusive photography.

The Blu-ray edition, exclusive to Super Deluxe Edition, includes the album in 24/96 hi-res stereo, plus Dolby Atmos and 5.1 surround mixes by Alex Gamble, packed in a Blu-ray Amaray case with a 12-page lyric book. The Blu-ray includes promotional videos for “That Was Then,” “Under The Stars,” “Not Dead Yet,” and “Stygian Waves.”

Other editions include pink vinyl, exclusive to North America, blue vinyl, exclusive to Kscope store and independent retailers, EON purple vinyl, exclusive to the band’s store, half-speed black LP, and digipak CD with 16-page booklet.
