Rating: unmoved This record left our Mingus Rude feeling unmoved.

Conifer / Ocean: 'Durance Vile' / 'Building State Empire' (Important) Split vinyl 12" comes packaged in a printed plastic sleeve that works in tandem with the card inner (you'll see when you open it!).Despite what the label says the copy that i'm reviewing is a good old slab of black plastic. Both sides act as a collaboration between two bands from the same place that have shared stages, practice rooms and now a release. What you get is pared down, heavy stoner rock with equal doses of doom. Executed with a frightening level of discipline, this is the sort of rock I suppose is made by and for kids who smoke obscene amounts of pot. Very fuggy indeed.

What the label says:

This split 12” release is limited to 1000 copies and pressed on rust and grey color vinyl. It is packaged in a screen printed mylar jacket with a screen printed mylar insert and a screen printed paper insert. Cover artwork is of a 19th century statue located at the center of Portland Maine, the dramatic coastal home of both groups. This is the sound of a musical brotherhood entirely unique to Ocean & Conifer. Over the years Ocean and Conifer have shared vans, stages, members, practice spaces, apartments, beers, a city and a kindred musical spirit. In a lot of ways it's a shock that that split hasn't happened already but perhaps it was so obvious that nobody noticed that it needed to happen. Sometimes the truth is right beneath your nose.With their original drummer back in the line-up, since Eric Brackett left to focus his energy on Ocean, Conifer has re-enlisted their original drummer Nate Nadeau. With Nate back in the group they're heavier, tighter and more united than ever before. They've toured and player with Mono, Black Dice, High On Fire, Asva, Mouth Of The Architect and many more. Summer of 2006 saw them embark on an ambitious 26 city tour.Ocean's 20 minute epic was recorded in the same sessions that birthed their next album, currently untitled, for Important. Containing all of the epic minimalist intensity and robust heaviness that has gained them international attention, The Undoing is a whole new level.
