Consonant

Following the breakup of Mission of Burma in 1983, Clint Conley had generally retired from music; beyond creating Yo La Tengo’s debut recording, very little musical was noticed from him as he dedicated himself to his fresh career like a manufacturer for an area Boston television place. In 2001, nevertheless, Conley and his previous Burma bandmates start kicking around the thought of playing several reunion displays and at exactly the same time, Conley started writing brand-new music with longtime friend Holly Anderson adding to the lyrics. As his backlog of brand-new music grew, Conley made a decision to type a band to execute his brand-new materials and Consonant proclaimed Conley’s go back to the music picture. Conley recruited a lineup of veterans of a few of Boston’s best-known rings, including Chris Brokaw (previously of Arrive and Codeine) on electric guitar, Matt Kadane (ex-Silkworm and Bedhead) on drums, and Winston Braman (from Fuzzy as well as the Count-Me-Outs) on bass; Conley, who’d performed bass with Objective of Burma, turned to electric guitar for Consonant. Shortly before Objective of Burma released their Inexplicable tour, Consonant documented their self-titled debut record, that was released in the springtime of 2002. A season later, Like and Affliction showcased a very much heavier aspect to Conley’s function.
