Stream New Lightspeed Champion LP

lightA week prior to its slated U.S. release date, Lightspeed Champion is streaming his new album Life is Sweet! Nice to Meet You over on myspace.  The new album is one of our most highly anticipated releases of the new year, and from first listen, it may live up to the billing.  Latest single from the LP “Marlene” is featured below, which also just appeared on an EP of the same name out now on Domino Records.  Check that one out on itunes if you aren’t into those physical relationships.  Pre-orders of the sophomore LP out next week (already out now in the UK) can be found here.

New Tunes from Lightspeed Champion

devIt’s almost 2010, and  one of my most anticipated releases is the new album from Lightspeed Champion.  Dev Hynes just hits a nerve with me, especially after watching THIS VIDEO.  So, while I wait for that new album, I’ve got something to hold me over until then.  Dev released an entire album of bedroom recordings while housesitting for a friend.  It might not go down as the best work of all time, but for a fans of Lightspeed Champion, it will definitely hold you over. I’m including my favorite track from the album, but if you want it, you can grab it for free over at Dev’s site.
