Baroness/Unpersons split

I just found out about this awesome split EP from Baroness and Unpersons released back in 2007, called A Grey Sigh in a Flower Husk. this is a really solid release from two very creative and distinctly different bands, but it doesn't seem to have gotten much attention, which is a shame.

the Baroness tracks sound great, really gritty and brutal, though unfortunately there are only two songs from them. however, Unpersons (who I'd never heard before) are just fucking awesome. their sound is a little more experimental but still very harsh - they mix metal, math and sludge - and the singer has a strange, disaffected scream/whine that reminds me of the vocals for the great sludge/noise band Pissed Jeans. this is really good stuff... I am actually surprised to say that I think Unpersons outshines Baroness's contributions here.

unfortunately, there seems to be barely any information about Unpersons on the internets, but I did find one of the Baroness tracks from the EP:
