==Polluter==

Polluter is a post-rock, post-punk, doom-pop rock band from New Haven, Connecticut. Showcasing elements of both genres, with splashes of jazz, R&B, spoken word poetry, and more, Polluter creates their own definition of modern rock. "Their latest, LIVE DECAY, is a potpourri of driving guitar riffs, sultry sax interjections, tight grooves, and pretty much anything else you could think of." -Brian Varneke @ Deli Magazine

Biography

In defiance of formulaic modern rock, a bulgingly organic musical think tank with sonic artillery aimed straight at the pituitary gland. Compositions run the gamut from lovely to atonal, delicate to pummeling.

In youth the capacity for unregulated creativity is unparalleled and absolutely necessary in the formation of identity and in identifying symbiotic relationships among peers. The saxophonist and bassist have been exploring musical realms together thusly for the past thirty years. The drummer fuses a childlike playfulness with a seemingly mystical intuitiveness to push their compositions over the edge in a stampede of existential fury. His approach to percussion is akin to a sinister specter dancing around a warm crackling campfire.

The guitarist conjures his guitar solos from a cauldron of melodic and anti-melodic themes that hover through the fog and filthy air. He is often overtaken in a trance-like shuffle while the portal is open. His lines soar and dive seemingly possessed as his warm tone breaks into shards of crystalline presence.

Giddy over a most ominous discovery, the bassist owns Polluter’s ritualistic music-making infrastructure- from conception, revision, rehearsing, and recording, to its offering. His bass rig is the dominant force upon which Polluter is built. Jeff is a reptilian musical demagogue who can pull strings out of thin air to birth a new riff, escape everlasting ruin, and get you stoned.

The saxophonist embraces harmonic overtones that twist and reach through a series of saxophonic delays and verbs like banshees over the groove temple. His horn launches into a surrealistic musical confrontation- lines soaring, eyeing, stalking, and grappling with musical prey. During inner stages of their ceremony, a post-apocalyptic spoken word from him evokes the human element connected by a thin silver thread to the collective’s subconscious.

Their sermons begin with full-blooded resonant guitar riffage deeply anchored in undulating, haunting bass grooves. The vitality and volatility of improvised destiny then takes over to bring the compositions through a labyrinth of angular shape-shifting, dark pentatonics, and poly harmonics. Adventurous leads soar in and out of the open portal with psyched out saxophonic timbres and maniacally mocking guitar mojo. The immense, propulsive drive transforms tension and release into a synchronistic melding of intense loss with the bliss of eternal arrival. As dispeller of entropy, they take full accountability for their unapologetically loud ritual and do orgiastically what they will.
