MAIAH WYNNE’S NEW STUDIO ALBUM INTO THE WAVES JOINS THE ACCLAIMED DEBUT OUT OF THE DARK IN A SPECIAL GATEFOLD 2LP EDITION
PRESSED ON BLACK VINYL
Into the Waves finds Maiah Wynne exploring the emotional landscape that follows trauma, tracing the uncertain path between fear and hope, vulnerability and resilience. Richly melodic and stylistically unbound, the album reflects the reality that healing is rarely straightforward, embracing moments of turbulence alongside genuine optimism.
Written, self-produced, and largely recorded by Wynne during an exceptionally transformative period in her life, Into the Waves was created between her first international tour, a move across the world, returning to education, and building a new life after years of isolation. Many of the recordings were captured on the road in hotel rooms using nothing more than a laptop, with Wynne playing more than a dozen instruments across the album. The project was completed with mixing and additional production by Justin Abel (Noelle Johnson, The Talbott Brothers), and mastered by Alan Douches (Sufjan Stevens, Motörhead, LCD Soundsystem).
As with her debut, Wynne is joined by an impressive cast of collaborators, including cellist Bethany Joyce, violinist Avelyn Reynolds, guitarist Brooks Berg, drummers Adam Brzycki and Randy Cooke, flugelhorn player Henry Sheppard, and Rush legend Alex Lifeson, whose guest guitar appearance further strengthens the connection between Wynne’s solo work and her role as vocalist with Envy of None.
Musically, Into the Waves moves effortlessly between intimate folk-inspired songwriting, expansive alternative rock textures and cinematic arrangements, with each song serving a chapter in the album’s overarching narrative.
One of the album’s most moving moments comes with “Girl Dinner”, a song added late in the recording process after becoming a favorite during live performances. Featuring recordings of audiences singing along on tour, the track captures the sense of connection and shared catharsis that became an important part of the album’s story.
A songwriter since the age of seven, Wynne has steadily built an impressive career. She has performed at festivals including Northwest Folklife and Upstream Music Fest, composed and performed “The Ballad of Lefty Brown” for the closing credits of the acclaimed 2017 film of the same name, won the International Music From The Moon songwriting competition, and was recognized as the first entrant in NPR’s 2019 Tiny Desk Contest. More recently, she has found international acclaim as the lead vocalist of Envy of None alongside Alex Lifeson, Andy Curran and Alfio Annibalini, earning widespread praise for the emotional depth and versatility of her performances across the band’s two studio albums.
This special 2LP edition pairs Into the Waves with Wynne’s acclaimed debut Out of the Dark—available on vinyl for the first time—bringing together her two full-length solo albums in one beautifully presented collection.
Color variant: Double black vinyl, gatefold packaging.
