The peace after the storm – a far cry from the punk noise anarchy of Test Icicles, Dev Hynes, aka Lightspeed Champion, makes a gentle return to music with his first solo album, ‘Falling Off The Lavender Bridge’.
Wrapped in a cosy, warm atmosphere, country pop melodies tinged in Americana and perfected with instrumental virtuosity - strings, flute, pedal steel - and with the sweet backing vocals of Emmy The Great on the single ‘Tell Me What Is Worth’ are the playground for personal unaffected reflections on love and life filtered through a lens at times humorous, at times starkly honest, like in the first single ‘Galaxy of the Lost’.
If the roles of Mike Mogis on production duties and Nate Walcott as a contributor draw similarities with Bright Eyes, with ‘Falling Off The Lavender Bridge’ Dev Hynes steers the focus from the bigger social and political to a smaller intimate picture to provide an insight into this heartfelt and tender storm in his teacup.
