Don't ask Y, just listen

Given that I was late to the Bon Iver party to begin with, it's no real surprise that I'm a little late in knowing about Gayng's, a mid-western supergroup made up of 23 of Minnesota/Wisconsin's finest**.  Lucky duckys in Minneapolis can see them tonight at the downtown "danceteria" (fantastic word!) First Avenue, in a prom-themed performance "The Last Prom on Earth" featuring tunes off their album Relayted.

If you aren't so lucky, you can stream the album in its entirety here, and below.  Loving how familiar and new it sounds at the same time.
