New music targets the new album from Lightspeed Champion today, Falling Off The Lavender Bridge. The new album is in stores now from Domino Records.

• Ex-Test Icicle, Devonte Hynes pulled a 180 change and flew to Omaha to record his first record as a singer/songwriter.
• Debut album was produced by Mike Mogis (Saddle Creek)
• Catchy acoustic-based indie rock are combined with full-orchestrations and backing vocals by Emmy The Great

Here are a few reviewers quotes about the new album.

• “Falling Off the Lavender Bridge is a confident and enjoyable introduction to Hynes’ latest musical project. One that, if quality’s any indication, should last a lot longer than his last.” - Popmatters
• “While impatient listeners may toss Falling Off aside as nothing more than indie-acoustic whimsy, the strength of the album (and what sets it apart from many others of its ilk), is Hynes’ jarringly candid sentiments.” - BBC
• “’Falling Off the Lavender Bridge has the same kind of lush yet lo-fi orchestration as Adam Green. What makes it, though, is Hynes’ woe-is-me delivery, which makes the whole album feel like one long plea for a hug.” - The Independent
• “Falling off the lavender bridge” is a beautiful collection of warm, interesting pop-songs, and since I’m writing this early in January, I guess I can say that this is definitely the best album I’ve heard so far this year!” - Eardrums
