That dude from the Test Icicles is back with a new band called Lightspeed Champion. What surprised me was how much this didn't really annoy me. It's not even vaguely a bit irritating and in fact I'd go as far as to say it's a decent tune. It's the spit of Elvis Costello but that's no bad thing. Great sleeve as well with some dude holding a chicken. We have a handful of copies of the debut with Whirlwind Heat if you're interested... see here!!! 'Galaxy of The Lost' is 7" only.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

Former Testicle Dev Hynes takes a brand new direction with solo project  Lightspeed Champion.Heavily influenced by a broad range of music and artists, such as Serge Gainsbourg, Elvis Costello, Kelly Clarkston and Fall Out Boy, Dev went on to establish his solo project and began to draw in all of these influences and head in a new direction when Test Icicles split.The debut single ‘Galaxy Of The Lost’ is from the highly anticipated album ‘Falling From The Lavender Bridge’ and shows just how extensive Dev’s talents within lyricism and musical arrangement are, showcasing his gently humorous, open-hearted songs with an unaffected warmth.
