Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Gayngs is a sprawling US indie supergroup corralled and led by producer Ryan Olson, in which the core trio of himself and Solid Gold's Zack Coulter and Adam Hurlburt are joined by members of Bon Iver, Megafaun, Rhymesayers and several lesser-known bands in creating a series of trip-hop soul grooves.

The root inspiration was apparently 10cc's "I'm Not In Love", whose miasmic, breathy texture is attempted for songs such as "Spanish Platinum", on which the enchanting, fragile falsetto of Bon Iver's Justin Vernon brings light to a murky hiss'n'fizz of guitar, piano and soprano sax; and "The Gaudy Side Of Town", where the background cooings recall Dr John's Gris-Gris. Elsewhere, dubby swirlings wash around the likes of "False Bottom" and "The Beatdown", while a cover of Godley & Creme's "Cry" cements the 10cc influence.
