Gowns

gowns are an experimental group formed by EMA (my robo bedroom) and Ezra Buchla in late 2004. At the time, Ezra was playing in the Mae Shi (5rc, Join or Die) and EMA was playing in Amps for Christ (5rc, Vermiform, Shrimper, etc). In the summer of 2005 they released an EP on folktale records called ‘Dangers of Intimacy’. This is a noisy folk record featuring a collaborative track with Carla Bozulich (Geraldine Fibbers, Scarnella). The music is raw, hushed, and sweetly nostalgic. After playing shows around the country the Gowns ended up in South Dakota where they recorded the album ‘Red State,’ released in March 2007 after two years of “compulsive re-tracking and re-mixing.”

The group recently relocated to Berkeley, CA, and is playing full time with drummer corey fogel, also from the Mae Shi.
