Lugubrious Londoner Lightspeed Champion, aka Devonte Hynes, has found some company for his misery. The form of that company is a full band that will join him for a return trip to North America in June.

Still supporting his debut album Falling Off the Lavender Bridge, Lightspeed Champion has added a heap of North American dates to his travels, all with Tilly and the Wall singer/guitarist Derek Pressnall's Flowers Forever project. The first two shows on the tour also feature the Moldy Peaches' Adam Green.

And that's hardly it for Lightspeed Champion live activity. For the moment, Hynes is in Switzerland, but he has quite a few shows in the UK and Northern Ireland over the weeks to come.
