Sensor Ghost is a no-wave art-punk trio from Washington, DC, featuring Mike Andre (bass/vocals), Amanda Huron (guitar), and Sam Lavine (drums). The band’s spiky songs have been known to leave listeners in a discombobulated trance.
Former/current projects include Puff Pieces, Antelope, Weed Tree, Light Beams, Vertebrates, and Stigmatics. Like the aforementioned groups, Sensor Ghost owes a debt to the freaked-out sonics and icono- clastic creativity of the storied DC punk scene.
The band’s first LP, Irritation on Demand, was recorded with Ian MacKaye and Don Zientara at Inner Ear Studios over a few feverish days in March of 2024.
The band's playing oozes conviction and class, Lifeson's guitar work more inventive and powerful than ever, but it's the talismanic Maiah Wynne - now hailing from San Francisco - who truly defnes Envy of None's sound. With her pensive, deft lyricism and impassioned vocal performance, Wynne pushes Stygian Waves into fresh, mesmerizing territory. The 11 songs on the album mark a signifcant progression in the band's sound, every song meticulously lasered down to its most essential and captivating elements. With the band's very own Alf Annibalini on mixing duties, the songs beneft from an intrinsic understanding of their evolution, his involvement in the writing process ensuring the mix truly captures the essence of their vision. Mastering by Harry Hess at HBomb Mastering (Barenaked Ladies, Billy Talent, Big Wreck) completes the album's fawless sound quality. With Stygian Waves, Envy of None overcomes any challenges typically associated with the notoriously tricky second album. Sharper, tighter and more memorable than anything they've done before, Stygian Waves is the work of a band at the top of their game - and still only just getting started.
