THE NEW CONSISTENT has just released the self produced track ‘TURN OFF ALL SCREENS’ (stream and download link) and announces an EP ‘Stories From The 01905’ on November 20th.
Validly titled, ‘Turn Off All The Screens’, follows The New Consistent’s debut EP - ‘Individual Social Accounts And Commentary’ which was released in March, featured three tracks produced by Austin Williams of Swim Deep and was credibly well received.
TNC has been compared to Loyle Carner, Rhythm Method, Kofi Stone and “The Streets Mike Skinner, with a Generation Z perspective”. This debut also earned the twenty year old singer and producer a ‘Rising Star’ nomination at the Birmingham Music Awards.
‘Turn Off All The Screens’ settles it’s lo-fi beats into your head insistently with a naggingly sweet synth melody. It’s a challenge to the mental health issues experienced by youth living through dystopia. “the pressure’s got too much…” Charlotte Lennon adds additional vocal to The New Consistent’s lilting rhymes and incisive lyrics of self-reflection and reassurance.
TNC describes it as “a reflection of my coping mechanism after such a difficult time and a reminder to myself that I am moving in the right direction and there is no harm in stepping back and taking a break from all the screens that seem to dominate my and everyone else’s world”.
As the Midlands is a cosmos of the new music industrial (r)evolution and collaboration, Raw Sound TV also a newly uploaded live performance of ‘Turn Off All The Screens’.
The New Consistent will play live shows in May 2021 at Manchester Castle (8th) and Birmingham Deadwax Digbeth (14th).
