Gowanus is an experimental rock trio that has its origins in the neighborhood surrounding the toxic Brooklyn waterway that shares its name. The group uses traditional analog instrumentation in combination with digital effects and sampling to create a unique sound that infuses elements of jam-based improvisation, electro-funk and straight up the middle, American rock 'n roll. The trio released their debut album, And To the Lost, in February 2012 and is hard at work on their follow up album, due out sometime later this year.
