I Gowns sono Ezra Buchla (ex Mae-Shi) e Erika Anderson (ex Amps for Christ e The Mountain Goats). E il loro è un disco che inizia come se fosse un film di Lynch, che, diciamoci la verità, è un gran bel modo di presentarsi. Se poi si aggiunge che la prima canzone si intitola Fargo, come il geniale film dei fratelli Coen,
tutto finisce per sapere un pò di provincia sordida americana, quella
immaginata, su spazi ampissimi, da noi europei. Con una colonna sonora
che non può che non essere post rock, con aperture liriche e chiusure
shoegaze, se proprio dobbiamo mettere in fila un pò di definizioni.
Come se non bastassero brani come Fake July, ipnotica, una spirale per 3:23 minuti, o White Like Heaven, lo-fi e noise, come non se ne sentiva da 15 anni. Meglio ancora, Subside, elettronica e sporca, che parte come se avessi tirato trielina, con quell'effetto da pale d'elicottero in testa. E Mercy Spring, tachicardica, con una costruzione progressiva da art-rock e una decostruzione rumorosa e sussurrata. Bello Red State, bello davvero, come quelli che sentivo un bel pò di anni fa, che arrivavano in pacchi dagli stati uniti, con il bollo Dischord
o simili, un disco che, praticamente, è quasi un'esigenza per chi,
adesso, sta per arrivare alla trentina o ci si è accomodato da un pò.

Gowns are Ezra Buchla (ex Mae-Shi) and Erika Anderson (ex Amps for Christ and The Mountain Goats). This album opens as it was a Lynch's movie, - and frankly that's a good way to introduce yourself. - Consider also the first song, entitled Fargo, just like the sharp Coen Brother's film, and all ends to taste as sordid american county, the wide landscapes, as in european imaginery. - And then a soundtrack going from post-rock to lyrical prologues and shoegaze closures, if you really want me to dish out some labels. It's like 15 years i didn't hear songs like that, - as Fake July, hypnotic, a whorl long 3:23 minutes, or White Like Heaven, lo-fi and noise. - Even better with Subside, electronic and dirty, it starts as You sniffed trichloroethylene, with that efx, sort of helicopter blades inside head. And Mercy Spring, tachycardiac, with a progressive art-rock swell and a deconstruction, at the same time noisy and whispered. Bello Red State, bello indeed, - like those records i used to listen years ago, coming packaged from usa, with a Dischord mark or similar, - a release that is nearly a demand for who's going to be 30 or stepped in since a while.
