Archive material and source history

Lightspeed Champion was the name Devendra Banhart gave to a project he started in 2007, moving away from his folk singer-songwriter work. The debut album 'Falling off the Lavender Bridge' came out in 2008, with guitarist Sam Amidon and drummer Adam Pierce involved. Songs like 'Galaxy Of The Lost' and 'Faculty Of Fears' came from that record.

A second album, 'Life is Sweet! Nice to Meet You,' followed in 2009. It had a more experimental sound than the first one. The project's other songs include 'Flash Failures' and 'Smooth Day (At The Library).'
