Alex Lifeson's Envy of None project is the subject of the latest cover story for V13 Media, where Alex Lifeson is interviewed about the project, their new Stygian Wavz album and more. He also chats a bit about Rush and the band's 50-year legacy:

... I'm very proud of my past with Rush. I think we accomplished a lot of things. We were never meant to last long.

I'm spontaneous. When I work, usually it's four or five takes on something that are my best, and then I lose interest. It seems like a natural thing for me, but Geddy's the opposite. That's how we always worked well as a songwriting team. He was meticulous, and he'd take his time, and I'd bounce around and throw ideas out and leave the room and grab a cup of tea.

To play music like this, where I can be thoughtful about the kind of soundscape I want to create from my parts, is a joy. It's, it's such a pleasure for me to do. Not that it never was before, but somehow I have freer license." ...
