ENVY - Insomniac Doze (20th Ann. Edition) 2LP

20th anniversary reissue.

Audiophile-quality double LP.

In 2006, Japan's Envy irreparably blurred the lines dividing all the various sub-genres of underground rock, smearing post-hardcore, screamo, shoegaze, and ambient minimalism into their cinematic opus, Insomniac Doze.

It was not a destination without a path – the band’s previous two albums, All the Footprints You’ve Left Behind and the Fear Expecting Ahead (2001) and A Dead Sinking Story (2003), were clear indicators that change was ahead. As always, Envy were driven by creative curiosity and emotional exploration.

Perhaps no album in their nearly four-decade history exemplifies this pursuit more than Insomniac Doze.

Twenty years later, it stands as a progenitor, and one of the premiere examples of the preconceptions of punk getting reduced to vapor.

Insomniac Doze – Anniversary Edition celebrates the 20 years since the release of envy’s landmark album. It is the definitive version of an album that has come to help define a genre.
