It’s probably quite safe to say we’re reasonably excited about the upcoming Lightspeed Champion album over here at TMM. So much, in fact, that we couldn’t wait to bring you the rather cinematic video for upcoming single Marlene (25 Jan 2010).

Starring Dev Hynes himself – pretty obvious, since he is Lightspeed Champion – it’s set in the sweltering hit of Death Valley and comes complete with bouncy rhythm and a short but sweet guitar solo. Its the first song from Life Is Sweet! Nice To Meet You, which is down for a 1 Feb release via Domino.

Anyway, enough of us. Check it out below:
