Lightspeed Champion's Debut Cd, Tourdates

Falling Off The Lavender Bridge (release date 2/5) is the debut album by British artist Lightspeed Champion, Aka Devonte Hynes. The recording of the cd took place in Omaha, Nebraska with help from Mike Mogis, Nate Walcott (members of Bright Eyes) and Clark Baechle (drummer for The Faint). The backing vocals by Emmy The Great compliment Devonte's voice on his brilliant folk cd. He is currently on the cover on NME, which by the way gave his cd 9/10. I'm excited to see him play Austin during SXSW, maybe I'll be lucky enough to see him a few times.

• Tell Me What It's Worth-mp3
• Galaxy Of The Lost-mp3
