Dev Hynes, aka Lightspeed Champion, has just unveiled a brand new, completely interactive website, where you can create a profile, load up images and videos and talk to fellow Lightspeed Champion fans.
The site, www.lightspeedchampion.com, also includes a brand new track which you can download for free as soon as you sign up.
Dev will regularly be uploading content including short films, photos and exclusive music, as well as continuing his already popular blog.
Currently you can enjoy Dev’s Wordplay orientated Three Sentence Movie reviews, as well as his pun of the day.
The free download, “Heavy Purple”, was recently recorded in New York. Dev says:
I started writing and recording the track at my friend Scott’s studio in Williamsburg and finished the song at Patrick from Chairlift’s home studio in Bushwick. I played all the instruments, and my vocal was done in one take. The intro features Aaron from Chairlift (extracted from an old song of his), which has Caroline from the band doing weird vocal things, and Aaron also does a monologue at the end. The song was basically written as it was recorded.
Aptly titled, “Heavy Purple” is, in fact, heavy with a jazzy feel. Clocking in at just over 5 minutes, the track starts out fairly eerie with almost a minute of moody and ambient instrumentals before Dev’s distinct voice breaks the lyrical silence with drawn out, almost pained words. It’s very chill, jazzy and slightly haunting, perfect for a rainy day (on the East Coast anyway) like today. Definitely worth a download, so head over to the Lightspeed Champion site and sign up to get the free download!
