A Day In Anti-Folk: Lightspeed Champion

If one “Juno” soundtrack alone wasn’t enough for you then today is your lucky day. We’ll spend all our Friday blog energy (read: not much) hipping you to the current day anti-folk scene.

First up: Lightspeed Champion (aka Devonte Hynes, former Test Icicle)

If you remember anything about Test Icicles at all then you know a) Lightspeed Champion couldn’t sound more different and b) the wig is a joke.

So homeslice went to Omaha, broed down with the Saddle Creek family and wrote this album of alt-country influence songs. NME being who they are enjoy popping him into the London anti-folk scene.

And from the womb of his labor springs forth this bizarre muppet video.
