LONDON - NEW LIGHTSPEED CHAMPION BOOTLEG

Lightspeed Champion has a brand new album out called Falling Off The Lavender Bridge which he recorded with the Bright Eyes producer in Nebraska and it's great. However, we just found out that he now has an even newer album out called I Wrote and Recorded This In Less Than Five Hours which he recorded in his Dalston flat yesterday morning. He's kindly put it online for you to download and review in the comments section.

Awesome. Thank you.
What kind of style is it?

Lightspeed Champion:
Rock/pop/tribal/electro/

Tribal?
Got any flamenco ballet in there?

Lightspeed Champion:
My favourite is track 2.

VICE:
So, are you just giving it away?

Lightspeed Champion:
Yeah.
It was downloaded over 700 times yesterday!

VICE:
Why don't we link to it from our blog?

Lightspeed Champion:
Do it! As long as you state i wrote and recorded it in less than five hours, and my actual album sounds nothing like this.
Ha ha ha.

VICE:
What's the album called?

Lightspeed Champion:
The "I Wrote and Recorded This In Less Than Five Hours" L.P.

VICE:
I like it. So, what prompted this flurry of creativity?

Lightspeed Champion:
I went to The V Festival by myself this weekend.

VICE:
How was that?

Lightspeed Champion:
Amazing.
Completely amazing.

VICE:
In what way?

Lightspeed Champion:
Just pure music! No one trying to be cool or see how many pills they can take. I made schedules and made sure i saw as many bands as possible. At one point I hit musical ecstasy, which is why i had to write and record an album when i got back … like a musical come down!

VICE:
Which one is the single?

Lightspeed Champion:
"This Is One Day - Record 2." All the songs are called that with a number different at the end.
Want another track?

VICE:
i have the whole album here.

Lightspeed Champion:
Sweet.
