The latest issue of Classic Rock magazine includes a new interview with Envy of None's Alex Lifeson and vocalist Maiah Wynne, where the pair discuss the project's 2nd album Stygian Wavz, which released this past Friday (thanks RushFanForever). Here's Maiah on working with such an iconic rock celebrity as Alex Lifeson:
.. "My parents had been to a few Rush concerts together," she says. "Having this association was really special for me, because I think it's every parent's worst nightmare when your child pursues music as a career [laughs]. It was a really great turning point for me, and special to be able to connect with them in that way. But they didn't believe me at all when I first told them, they thought I was being scammed!" But no, it was all true. ...
Alex heaps praise on Wynne in this passage:
... Today Lifeson is keen to cheerlead for Wynne, telling CR: "I found her delivery, voice and the thoughtfulness that went into her arrangements really impressive. I seldom really commit to developing a song fully, because I'm waiting to hear what Maiah does, and this informs me so much about where I can take the guitar," he says of their 'process'. I weave in and out of what she's created harmonically, and the symbiotic result is that we sort of dance together. I always say that Maiah's my muse. There's something about her that's really affected me and the way I produce music." ...
