Consuelo means consolation, solace, relief. The world is entering a little dark age where authoritarianism is spreading, large technology corporations and their pursuit of profit at all costs mediate every relationship, neocolonialism is rampant in Gaza and other territories, access to a decent life is becoming more difficult while the richest have never been so rich, and addressing the climate crisis is postponed due to short-term interests.

Immersed in this landscape, we seek solace in small communities that challenge the techno-feudalist logic and propose new hopeful solutions. We seek relief in music, and in the human fabric that articulates it, resisting capital's efforts to turn it into a product to be consumed at macro-festivals and in social media reels.

Consuelo is our humble contribution to accompanying those who need it in these times. It is also a celebration of a shared way of doing things, and an invitation to keep going and not give up.

As the vinyl album credits say:
"With this album, we hope you find a place to take refuge and imagine other possible systems. We hope it accompanies you and brings you solace, as it has done for us and continues to do every time we bring it to life."
