.
Second Lightspeed Champion Release Set was a top story for this week. Here it is again: (PR) Lightspeed Champion, the brain child of former Test Icicles guitarist Dev Hynes, has returned with his second album, Life is Sweet! Nice To Meet You. The follow-up to 2008's Falling Off the Lavender Bridge is an epic collection of twelve pop songs, two instrumental intermissions and one piano ιtude, set for release on Domino Records on February 16th, 2010.
London's Lightspeed Champion emerged from the ashes of Hynes' first band, acclaimed noise rockers Test Icicles. Under the name Lightspeed Champion a moniker taken from a comic book character he'd created who lived in a world of mathematics Hynes released one of 2008's most charming debuts in Falling Off the Lavender Bridge. Recorded in Omaha, NE, the album was an orchestral pop love letter to American country twang and boy/girl harmony sweetness, with Hynes' lyrics referencing everything from broken relationships to teen soap opera The O.C. and more. With rave reviews, a performance on Late Night with Conan O'Brien, and a full American tour under his belt, Lightspeed Champion picked up from his native England, seeking new inspiration, and relocated to New York City. To say the city has never been the same since would be an understatement, and on his newest record, Life is Sweet! Nice to Meet You, Dev Hynes showcases not only his incredible ability to write a catchy-as-hell tune, but also his fine ear for brilliant arrangements, once again creating a world all of his own. - more on this story
