Envie’s Violent Friendliness
Some musical friendships are forged in the halls of school, and for the members of East London trio Envie (pronounced on-vee), that bond runs deep. They have been navigating the music scene together for years, cultivating a unique creative energy that is ready to burst onto the wider stage.
While their current identity as Envie is fresh, their musical journey has already taken some notable turns. Prior to this new chapter, they were known under the former band name Dystopia, and their influence occasionally touched high-profile projects; they even featured on FKA twigs’ acclaimed track Which Way.
Their previous work demonstrated a raw, compelling side, which now seems poised to be channeled into something new. As Envie prepares for a grand reintroduction, they are stepping into the spotlight with a practice-space recording of their track Violently Friendly.
This new release arrives fresh and immediate, delivering a rock song characterized by bright, melodic immediacy. It signals a deliberate shift—a chance for the trio to define their sound entirely on their own terms.
The debut of this material took center stage quickly, appearing first on Stereogum, generating immediate buzz among music enthusiasts and signaling that Envie is ready to make some serious waves in the contemporary music landscape.
