Life Is Sweet Nice To Meet: Ltd

We are very excited to announce that Lightspeed Champion has returned with his brilliant second album, Life is Sweet! Nice To Meet You. The follow-up to 2008’s Falling Off The Lavender Bridge is an unassumingly epic collection of 12 pop songs, two instrumental intermissions and one piano étude, set for release on 12th February 2010. Lightspeed’s early leaning towards American country dressings is traded here for a palette that draws on classical music and even musical theatre. Producer and mixer Ben Allen (Animal Collective, Gnarls Barkley) assembles the eclectic grab-bag of influences: joltingly ‘70s guitar and synth sounds, classical piano, Greek choruses shouting reprisals, and at least one ukelele-driven moment. All tracks on Life is Sweet! Nice To Meet You were written and arranged by Dev Hynes. The impossibly infectious first single Marlene is one of the most played tracks at Triple J radio at the moment!
