Singer also launches new website

Alternative singer-songwriter Lightspeed Champion has made a new track available online.

'Heavy Purple' has been made available as a download on the singer's new website, and can be downloaded here.

Speaking about the song, Dev Hynes - the man behind the moniker of Lightspeed Champion - said: "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."
