  • As independent artists coping with the adverse circumstances of Covid-19, we are trying to raise funds for PR to promote the forthcoming LP, 'Lost Routes,' by Conscious Route and True Note.

Walking different texture like a witch would craft, sifted through a shifted mask, many friction situated searching for the truth of me to see some sickness sentuated, suffering the harboured deep stigma that been carved from sheep, hoped slayed by the dragon's tongue , I provoked the dark evil sanctioned through the throne knight, questioning the good of me or is it just an oversight the instigated memories, the serpents come to mock my dance, In serious scenarios so lucid like shemaniac trance, was looking for a message and way to grow, In retribution like they taken soul I only see darkness of the traitors road, feels every bit the cake I owed so I should eat it for bait they sold, something simmer underneath didn't have insight or the knowledge to warn the chief, it's fockery In life I new the music was the crow that flew the snare to bring the nightmare true, guess I have myself to blame regret horror slew, LIFE IN THE RAIN I SUFFER IN THAT WORLD OF PAIN, THINK TURN CORNER THEN FIND THE ANOTHER ROAD THE SAME, ITS SUBTLE IN THE RAIN, WET UP LIKE KILLED AND HIDES TEARS AND SHAME, COLD LONELY AS I STRUGGLE IN THE RAIN LIFE IN THE RAIN I SUFFER IN THE WORLD OF PAIN, THINK TURN CORNER THEN FIND THE ANOTHER ROAD THE SAME, ITS SUBTLE IN THE RAIN, WET UP LIKE KILLED AND HIDES TEARS AND SHAME, COLD LONELY AS I STRUGGLE IN THE RAIN Was it all in vain attempts of egotistic vain man, or underhanded higher force with destiny and game plan, phantom hidden depths we only know truth hold the conscious mind and undersigned get lost in validation when the feared through terror tantrums and sanctioned by the trauma, alternative realities where phantom friends shadow doubts with donnie darko discussion till anger punctures out, from frustration and confusion with the phone calls of insanity, as drip to watch the evil plays shade far from humanity, unturned like the tarot cards of mysticism undefined, the broader truth like galaxies unfathomed by the man suits lost trust lust for living searching for dream to chase redeem the soul settle down unburden from the evil place, smudging sage the native waves spell does it source surrender, In voodoo black hearted land dwell illegal tender burn to know the knowledge from the past I can't remember LIFE IN THE RAIN I SUFFER IN THAT WORLD OF PAIN, THINK TURN CORNER THEN FIND THE ANOTHER ROAD THE SAME, ITS SUBTLE IN THE RAIN, WET UP LIKE KILLED AND HIDES TEARS AND SHAME, COLD LONELY AS I STRUGGLE IN THE RAIN LIFE IN THE RAIN I SUFFER IN THE WORLD OF PAIN, THINK TURN CORNER THEN FIND THE ANOTHER ROAD THE SAME, ITS SUBTLE IN THE RAIN, WET UP LIKE KILLED AND HIDES TEARS AND SHAME, COLD LONELY AS I STRUGGLE IN THE RAIN

Fields of hopes and cotton scenes, that grew through blues and rotten dreams, culture changed the landscape, musical bandwagons that took class as portions, that made originators of certain arts laughed as orphans, couldn't accept that black keys among-st the white, and feud for wealth hung values of colour over the health, of humanitarian needs, music sleeps and awakens in our souls, does colour ever separate the sound, only in imagination we weave the imadary profound, like sleek movement of pieces, still certain art class benief the roots of certain species, like raps not art, like hip hop not music, and I diversify the reason why to choose and defuse the notation, that any sound can not be related in harmony like flight of the bumblebee, to flower pollinate essence, of intrinsic values, from the greeting from foreign shores of ethos, that creeps for validation or maybe confirmation of what I feel I already know, once vivid in experience it has the life potential a single voice that lives rejoice, without existential, like resonance of an unborn child a lost friend or kindred spirit to have, the community dance of unities promise, certainly absconded through the greed of productivity, contaminated and dissociated hope through that sloth of misery and fear, music only can unfold through resonance not resenting what we hear, I said who fears, the music can't unfold from negligence if your resenting what you hear, I said who fears, I sadi who fears,

Conscious Route & True Note: Lost Routes

Edinburgh-based rapper, Conscious Route and producer, True Note bring you their collaborative debut album, ‘Lost Routes.’

The album demonstrates the versatility of the duo as they bring a range of musical styles from hip-hop to grime and drum and bass, with tints of electronica and more. All the while, Conscious Route delivers different flows to speak on a variety of personal and political matters, from mental health and personal struggles to social commentary and experiences from his years in the music industry.

Conscious Route’s abilities as an MC are matched by the rich production of True Note (aka Mert Pearson), as they delve into themes of things that lurk in darkness, both from a metaphorical and a literal perspective.

Delivering uncompromising politicised intellect with a raw street edge, this album is interspersed with short interview skits that provide extra light on the subject matter as Conscious Route manages to bring thought-provoking lyricism without coming off preachy. All the while, True Note’s shifting aural backdrop prevents the soundscape from getting stale.

Lost Routes was written and recorded from 2019 into 2020 after Conscious Route took a hiatus from music and features guest vocals from London-born soul singer, Geoffrey Williams who was himself signed to Atlantic Records and saw chart success with a series of singles.

Production-wise, this release calls on live instrumentation from Trombonist Chris Greive from the Scottish Jazz Orchestra (‘Mash Up Days’), as well as KT Tunst’s drummer Cat Myers (‘Everything Test’). Meanwhile, True Note himself brings keyboard, bass and vocal additions to the project.

Music from this 20-track release has already been catching attention, with three instrumentals and one full track being picked up by Channel 4 for their mini documentary series, ‘Take Your Knee Off My Neck,’ a response to the killing of George Floyd.

A powerful and personal contemplation on UK life in the 21st Century, this release possesses more than enough bump to take the message to radio and the clubs too.
