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]

gollark: No, I mean the spacing in your code.
gollark: The indentation in that is *interesting*.
gollark: Presumably the end to end encryption thing? Although it would still have a lot of metadata.
gollark: That would somewhat defeat the point of having a decentralized platform thing.
gollark: Well, I might look at joining matrix or whatever then. One of the reasons I don't have any fediverse/whatever stuff set up is that I currently only have access to a free domain which might randomly decide to to unexist, and I don't want that to get stuck in remote config files everywhere.
