Spotlight: Gayngs

JAGJAGUWAR is definitely one of my favorite labels. Yet another one of their recently signed bands, Gayngs, is impressive in every way, shape and form. They mix repetitive, enticing beats with the vocals similar to Bon Iver creating a more upbeat, chill sound. It's incredible. Their album, Relayted, is one that you can listen to over and over again.
