Consolidated, the political dance/industrial music band from the early 90ties joined again for a studio session in San Francisco last summer, resulting in a new album ‘We’re Already There’. The first release on Consolidates own label ‘The End Of Records’.
What else to expect, the new recordings are an innovating mix of industrial, to hip-hop, to rock and funk with mixtures of live instruments and electronics. Topped with left political activism and politically radical lyrics.
The album starts in ‘traditional-Consolidated-groove’ with the song ‘Capitalism A.F.’, a mix of beats, industrial sounds and hip-hop. Followed by funky-pop songs, danceable industrial jams, techno beats, reggae and blues influences plus a remarkable noise track.
Main musicians are Adam Sherburne (guitar/vocals) and Mark Pistel (synths/beats) backed by Lynn Farmer (Meat Beat Manifesto) on drums, who replaces the original drummer Phil Steir.
The complete album is recorded, mixed and mastered by Mark Pistel at ‘Room 5’ in San Francisco.
The cover shows art paintings from Ayelet Hay (front) and William Kendall (back).
On ‘We’re Already There’ Consolidated plays more music than ever.
