Release Notes:
Lightspeed Champion is the pseudonym of Devonte
Hynes, who is probably better known for his stint in
short-lived noiseniks Test Icicles.
Galaxy of the Lost will come as something of a shock
to devotees who might have expected more of the
thrashy genre-hopping style of his previous band; it
is actually a pleasant country-tinged strum.
The announcement that Dev and his ensemble are to
tour with Bright Eyes comes as no surprise now,
because this track suggests something of a musical
kinship; with the slide guitars and violin whinnying
along to a stately piano, it could fit onto any of
Oberst's records. The female vocals contrast Hynes'
dark croon winningly as well. An unexpected triumph.
