Tell Me What It's Worth/ Xanadu

This record left our Ant feeling unmoved.

Lightspeed Champion's third single 'Tell Me What It's Worth' is just in on Domino. For those of you that have been on another planet this is Dev Hynes' solo project (previously of Test Icicles). I can't listen to this guy without thinking of Elvis Costello since Phil made a comparison. It doesn't really do much for me. He has his formula and he sticks with it although he is a talented songwriter. He has a female vocal on the chorus here too . B-side 'Back to Black' is a far superior track. A dark and somber slice of singer songwriter gear that has the man really inject his soul and passion into the music. 7" and CD single.
