Lightspeed Champion is the name of the new musical venture by ex-Test Icicle Devonte Hynes (born Devonte David Joseph Michael Hynes), currently signed to Domino Records. Containing musical elements from a variety of genres, Lightspeed Champion is a radically different sound to Hynes’ previous band. The band’s name comes from a series of comic strips Hynes did as a teenager in his school Maths books.
Taking influences from such bands as Fleetwood Mac and The Smashing Pumpkins, through to Hall & Oates and Nirvana, Devonte Hynes (of Test Icicles fame) returns with new band Lightspeed Champion.
