Accolades for Here Where Nothing Grows
Ocean's full-length debut is a three song, hour-long affair that begs the question, �Can a band play so slow as to make time stop?" The three move at their own speed, but they avoid monotony by the subtle use of dynamics and an excellent sense of mood. Doom�s supposed to be grim, and these guys lay that on thick. Here Where Nothing Grows is killer work, similar to Buried at Sea and Indian�s recently released The Unquiet Sky. Recommeneded for those who expect their heads to be caved in by an avalanche of distortion.
It's slow doom harnessing the deep low end drone of Sunn0))), Burzum's screams, the crushing heaviness of Buried at Sea, and even the art rock of Mogwai.
