Consonant is excited to announce our new zine, written by Katie and illustrated by our artist friend Alison Lee Chapman—plus a sick accompanying record.
Katie wrote about making spontaneous music with her noise band, assholeknife, and the spiritual rewards she’s found in embracing chaos. The writing was gorgeously illustrated with four full-page, full-color drawings by Alison, and the zine was printed and created here in our home studio.
The record that comes with the zine is an 8” vinyl of the album "mother love" by assholeknife. We made the music in early 2025 and released it in conjunction with this zine. Consonant embossed the records ourselves, here in our home studio, using vintage record lathes. Order a copy of the zine, the record, or both on our shop.
