Little Rock, Arkansas-based progressive doom quartet, Pallbearer’s recently brand new single 'Dropout', which was initially released as the 53rd installment of the Adult Swim Singles Program is a song that represents a subtle expansion of the singular doom-prog metal sound the Arkansas outfit is known for. Comments the band on the single: "We have almost always written music intended to exist as part of an album, with common musical and lyrical threads that tie many elements together into one release. Being freed from those confines in recording this song allowed us to explore themes and immediacy that might not have been uncovered in our more typical "large format" composition process." “Dropout” was recorded at fellowship Hall Sound in Little Rock, Arkansas and was mixed by Randall Dunn and mastered by Jason Ward.

Emerging from the darkness of the Swedish death metal abyss in 2004, the band immediately stood apart from what was already a crowded scene, betraying an uncompromising vision that refused to be shackled by any genre stereotypes.
