Gayngs

I'm still trying to work out who exactly is in this band. According to Wikipedia there are 23 band members in Gayngs, ranging from Justin Vernon (Bon Iver) to a rapper named P.O.S... but I guess it doesn't matter who it is but rather what type of music they are making. I first heard about them when they were signed to Bon Iver's record label, but I didn't hear one of their tracks until Pitchfork.com gave them spot 99 on the top songs of 2010 (which you can hear below). I am now officially a fan of their retro, soft-rock inspired slow jams (and their band symbol that you can see above), and I hope you will be too... Enjoy
