If you are longing for some fresh Muse, this Las Vegas band just might help you though the drought. The Envy Corp. definitely have that vibe with some Radiohead mixed in. They are a complex band with depth that requires some attention. A couple of listens have worked for me. Think Muse with a groove on "Ms. Hospital Corners". The Envy Corps - Ms. Hospital Corners The Envy Corps ( Facebook ) Check out Bruce's "Go Deep" [...]
I could not be more psyched about this album. Like, for me to be any more excited to have it would be approaching the realm of physical impossibility. If you're not familiar with The Envy Corps I would suggest downloading every single one of their albums and EP's. They're very Radiohead-esque... which is more than [...]

Canby From: Des Moines, Iowa, United States Canby started life as a side project of musical jack-of-all-trades Scott Yoshimura, drummer for the inde rock band The Envy Corps. It has since grown arms and legs and is more, much more, than a mere bit of extra curricular activity. Yoshimura, who has successfully worked on several other 'side-projects' like The Magazines , throws himself into his music like his life depends upon it. With Canby Yoshimura's baritone smoothness adding serious weight to the themes he [...]

This is the second installment of my Memorial Day mix, which will happen every, um, Memorial Day. Take a look back at last year's mix here (sorry, the mp3s no longer work...can't just leave them up forever!). We Knox Roadians hope you're all having fantastic Memorial Day weekends. Last year, I started off the Memorial Day mix with a British group (Bloc Party), you know, for the spirit and all...but I think I'll go American this year.

I prepare the traditional set of questions for my interview with Luke Pettipoole of Des Moines' The Envy Corps: influences, stories from the road, personal demons, etc. But when I catch a video on the band's Facebook page [...]

We last wrote about The Envy Corps when they were releasing Dwell on iTunes last summer, which was two months after the initial release. It's really a shame to not hear more about them, so ... Related posts: It's Not A Sin To Like The Envy Corps Video: Brian Aubert Grills Host at Hawaii Show

You know you're super busy when completely forget you didn't finish your year end list. Everyone thank Michael in Ireland for getting me off my lazy behind to finally finish my list. Let's get this puppy finished already. 20. Welcome Wagon - Welcome to the Welcome Wagon My obsession with all things Sufjan faded a while ago with a lack of anything new on his front, so the excitement just wasn't there when I heard [...]

12. The Envy Corps 'Dwell' (Vertigo) When I saw this lot last summer at the Water Rats in London I figured they were good, had some strong singles, but would never climb too high in my musical mind of greatness. 'Dwell' however, enables such. Some strong singles? Every track on here could be, stocked by means of shear soulful and atmospheric sensibility. Like Modest Mouse with Doves as a backing band. What happened between last summer and now I don't know, but they've certainly found the right tools in order to produce the goods, such as with 'Keys [...]
I found this band on www.daytrotter.com, which is a great site by the way. If you're into Okkervil River, Billy Vision and the Dancers, Page France, or similar bands then you'll want to check these guys out. The Envy Corps are a little darker and a little heavier ...

Indie bands are hardly ever the talk of the town, but for Amos, Iowa's The Envy Corps that has been the case for several years. With such talk increasing volume over the years about the flourishing talent, Vertigo Records from England finally stepped in to ink the foursome and pull them across the pond. After inhabiting Streatham outside of London for a year, the group released Dwell this year. Since this was initially an international release, many potential fans outside of the U.K. weren't able to hear their [...]

'Party Dress' is probably one of my favorite cuts off of The Envy Corps ' Dwell . The Iowa-based band has been compared to Modest Mouse , but this track comes out on the Radiohead side of things. Give 'Party Dress' a spin, by streaming below: The Envy Corps - 'Party Dress' [...]

I won't lie to you, but this is quite the landmark for Shout and Twist. Why? Because for the first time ever not one but two albums released within the last four weeks have been awarded the prestigious Album Of Last Month title, hence the Albums Of Last Month. Big stuff. Cajun Dance Party - The Colourful Life - XL The music press have been way too harsh on these with their debut. NME couldn't get over the fact they're all below the age of 20, and Drowned In Sound [...]

I couldn't give a damn who else remixed Madonna's 4 Minutes , not a damn. The only remix I was going to entertain listening to was Jacques Lu Cont's . Why? Well, not only does he poses a near perfect back catalogue of remix work, he was also the producer/brains behind Madonna's 2005 album Confessions On A Dance Floor, an I view with such I regard. MP3: Madonna - 4 Minutes (Jacques Lu Cont Remix) DOWNLOAD No one seems to have [...]
