Consonant is an alternative rock group formed by singer/guitarist Clint Conley in 2001.

In the late 1970s, Conley cofounded Mission of Burma, a pioneering Boston post punk group. After mostly dropping out of music for the 1980s and 1990s, Conley began writing songs, often with input from poet Holly Anderson.[1]

Conley formed Consonant in 2001, along with guitarist Chris Brokaw (Come, Codeine),[2] bassist Winston Braman (Fuzzy),[2] and drummer Matt Kadane (previously of Bedhead).[3] Though notably less experimental than Mission of Burma,[1] critic Mark Deming declares Consonant is "a fine return to the spotlight for Conley".[4]
