I'm way late on this but I'm really diggin' 2010's Relayted. One might expect a 25 member supergroup to be all over the map, but somehow the seemingly inevitable eclecticism is unpredictably reined in under the umbrella of soft-rock. I mean, at some points, one might imagine the sexy sax man making his appearance, while at others the album dips into experimental, prog, or even blues territory. So maybe there's a little something for everyone? It's mostly colored in shades that fans of Air or James Blake would like, but there are some surprises like "Faded High", or "False Bottom".
In the ultra-fast world of the internet music reviews, it is of the utmost importance to be timely and ahead of the new hotness. Us BZNZmen being an obvious exception, clearly I slept on this album for over a year, and only got around to checking it out when the dudes at My Other Computer Is A Sunset posted about it back in April. Maybe the internet isn't fast so much as it is regurgitative, but don't sleep on Gayngs.
Speaking of regurgitation, keep an eye out for a new feature 'round SRS BZNZ. We're gonna ask our BZNZmen to drop some negocios in the form of their favorite albums by genre. All the oldies but goodies, the albums we believe belong firmly in the canon. Check it out this week, maybe while you bayng some Gayngs.
