Consolidated - We're Already There Consolidated

Consolidated, the political dance/industrial music band from the early 90's, joined again for a studio session in San Francisco, resulting in the album, We're Already There. The first release on Consolidated’s own label, The End Of Records. What else to expect, the new recordings are an innovating mix of industrial, hip-hop, rock and funk with mixtures of live instruments and electronics. Topped with left political activism and politically radical lyrics, the album addresses issues such as America, Covid and ecocide with the song The Flood, demands Free Music, Stop America with Musica Sin Frontieras, and welcomes guest vocalist Greta Thunberg on the track The 'ol Mass Extinction Blues.

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.
