Opensouls
Opensouls were a New Zealand band formed in 2001.[1] After releasing numerous vinyl EPs, the band released their critically acclaimed debut album Kaleidoscope which impressed reviewers and fans alike. While this album draws inspiration from soul, reggae, jazz & blues styles, their next album, Standing in the Rain, was made with the intent to reflect the sound and feeling of a particular musical era: late 1950s and early 1960s British and American R&B.[1] The band split up in 2011, playing their final live shows.

gollark: RGB means you enjoy the *fun* of random CPU-wasting incompatible RGB control programs.
gollark: Also, it might be sensible to get cheaper non-RGB RAM.
gollark: You don't need a CPU cooler that much, AMD CPUs ship with a usable one.
gollark: AMD did stealthily make the stock cooler on some of their CPUs slightly worse recently, I remember, but it should still work.
gollark: They would probably be better off upgrading the CPU to a 3600 or something and using the stock cooler.
