Atmospheric, 69-bpm-obsessed dance-pop collective Gayngs craft impeccably rendered, R&B-infused electro-indie pop built upon a foundation inspired by smooth and quirky English art rock outfit 10cc. Formed in 2008 by Minneapolis-based producer/songwriter Ryan Olson, along with Solid Gold members Jack Coulter and Adam Hurlburt, Gayngs were hardly a trio, as over 25 artists chose to participate, including Joe Westerlund, Brad Cook, and Phil Cook from North Carolina’s Megafun, Ivan Howard of the Rosebuds, Bon Iver's Justin Vernon and Mike Noyce, and Rhymesayers rapper P.O.S., just to name a few. The band’s debut album, Relayted, arrived in 2010 on Jagjaguwar Records. ~ James Christopher Monger, Rovi
