Lightspeed Champion is the alter ego of one Dev Hynes - ex-Test Icicle. Currently signed to illustrious independent, Domino Records, it contains musical elements from a variety of genres. It’s a veritable soundscape of forward thinking songwriting with solid pop hooks and ambitious instrumentation (strings! flutes! guitars! pianos!)

Comparisons can’t be drawn to one artist, but there’s certatinly elements of Fleetwood Mac, Smashing Pumpkins, through to Hall and Oates, Nirvana, Patrick Wolf, Neil Young and even Bright Eyes - whose collaborator, Mike Mogis, also produced Lightspeed’s debut album ‘Falling off the Lavender Bridge’.
