Add Date: February 9
Artist: Lightspeed Champion
Album: Life is Sweet! Nice to Meet You
Label: Domino
Genre: Pop
Comments: From the promoter:
"Life is Sweet! Nice to Meet You, the second Lightspeed Champion long player, is an unassumingly epic collection of 12 pop songs, two instrumental intermissions, and one piano etude, bound together by a sense of longing so piquant that the listener, after listening, can't easily stifly the sense that he himself is on the verge of some major transition, for better or for worse (though for all its self-consciousness, tehre's something fundamentally optimistic-- even eager-- abotu Lightspeed Champion's anxiety over change).
"The record is bristling with pleas and temporary resignations and oaths of loyalty and promises to improve, all of which are built so consistently into the lyrics and melodies and rhythms that one is utterly convinced of their sincerity, utterly convinced that one has been given an unfiltered look at the mental, even logistic state of the composer during the album's construction."
Thoughtful, well-instrumented pop for fans of Sea Wolf, Jens Lekman or The Decemberists. Listen to "Faculty of Fears" or "There's Nothing Underwater."
