Guster Has a New Album Out TODAY!

Quite exciting news, and testament to Guster's penchant for inventively embracing 21st century novelties of the WWW like piracy, they've compiled the best fan-created videos for their new album, Easy Wonderful, into a website at guster.com/easywonderful.

"Do you feel it?
