Embedded in the platform for art beyond boundaries vzw de console, ConSouling Sounds is acting out it’s own beliefs. The mail order and the label have taken the mission upon them to promote all ‘Post’ or ‘Doom’ music and to help it find it’s way to the audience.
Why? A simple reason: these innovating types of music keep holding only a shadowy position in the entire musical landscape. Many interesting bands and unique undertakings never get the chance to develop. They experience difficulties to find their way. Working on distribution or even a reputation is not obvious at all.
ConSouling Sounds wants to work with bands that are truly remarkable. Through the label we offer them the chance to step in to the footlights they deserve. Through the ConSouling Sounds mail order we help this music find it’s way to the audience more easily. We continuously update and expand our catalogue to make it into a tasty dish for fans as well as for those new to the scene.
The choice to operate from within vzw de console is no coincidence. We refuse to be just any old promotional platform. We feel snappy being part of this larger platform, because it wants to support artists who do not persistently chose to act within mainstream circuits and movements. In order to continuously provoke existing boundaries. Neither do we believe in ready-made opinions or too strict a definition. We want to keep our finger to the pulse of innovation, crossover and experiment.
ConSouling Sounds and de console: a partnership for interartistic projects: the place to be for a unique combination of innovative music and art!

Mt. - Teach Your Children How To Think, Not What To Think
7,50 euro + postage
It has been a while since we heard new tunes by the band branded by The Silent Ballet as "one of the shining new lights of the UK post-rock scene"
The EP contains 4 brand new tracks that push beyond 2006 critically acclaimed Lethologica. During the years of silence the band progressed as songwriters, which is reflected in every track on the Teach Children How To Think, Not What To Think EP. Intelligently layered structures entwined with amazingly crafted melodies leave no room for interpretation: Mt. are back and determined to permanently claim a place in the spotlights.
Vanessa Van Basten - Psygnosis EP
8 euro + postage
Two years after the critically acclaimed La Stanza di Swedenborg Vanessa Van Basten returns with two brand new epic tracks collected on this beautiful EP, which was written by all band members.
This Italian heavy postrock ensemble don't constrict themselves to the laws of The Great Postrock Bible. In stead they blend in psychedelica, ambient influences, metal and shoegaze to result in a unique musical experience.
Dreamlike and cinematographic sounds collide with heavy and dark sonic assaults: the music is incredibly crafted and reveals more of its intrinsic beauty everytime it is played.
Vanessa Van Basten has kept their lo-fi attitude as the tracks were recorded in the rehearsal room and at home with the aid of a technician and feature a human drummer (no more drum computer this time) that has toured with the band in the past.
The EP comes in an oversized folded cover with a sixteen page booklet inserted and is strictly limited to 500 copies.
