Envy - Insomniac Doze - Gold [Colored Vinyl] (Gol) (Aniv)

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. Remastered in 2026 by Josh Bonati, the album's deluxe new gatefold package includes complete lyrics in both English and Japanese languages. It is the definitive version of an album that has come to help define a genre.
