Pallbearer Industry, - consisting of Pat Farrell (Guitar, Vocals), Leigh Newton (Bass, Keys, Vocals), & Jeff Dowdall (Drums, Percussion, Synths) - a recent addition to the Ottawa Psych scene, state on their debut album Astral Pollution's Bandcamp page; “Astral Pollution is the direct result of isolation within the pandemic world. Transmissions sent from one studio to another giving way to instinctive musical mutations” . Quite to the point, Astral Pollution has an air of instinctive improvisation. The record is a 45 minute auditory collage of psychedelia, drone and grime; with each of the ten songs presenting distinctively different sonic scenes, bound together by a common flavor of dissonance. The album’s first and eponymous track; “ Astral Pollution ”, is a suitably jarring bookend to the collection. Most immediately, the band’s industrial influences bleed through the lonely synth drone which opens the song: a restless, distorted guitar begins to dance alongside it
