With it's crooning harmonies and polished aesthetic Life Is Sweet! is a remarkably assured follow up album from Lightspeed Champion. Dev Hynes draws on string arrangements, pianos and instrumental section over what was an incredibly long recording period due to him requiring throat surgery.

This Glad-stone was so full of magical make-people-happy powers that people started paying shit loads of money to take a peek and feel glad. The old poor farmer was now loaded and decided to build a rad place called the Gladstone Hotel where all the babes and dude-babes would flock to make sweet parties and happy times!
Now you know the lame ass story of how the venue came to be you should come party with some folk who are freakin' rad! First up we have new buddies ROOF and THE RESILIANT MICROBES as well as our awesome buds THE LOST BOYS for a huuuge set plus them Purple Sneakers DJs BENLUCID and NICK FINDLAY!
We're excited to be launching the debut album from LIGHTSPEED CHAMPION- Life is sweet! Nice To Meet You, thanks to Domino/EMI and the new album from SURFER BLOOD - Astro Coast, thanks to Spunk!
Also our new home has a bistro! That's right - you can grab an awesome meal while having a beer and listening to your favourite tunes as played by the Purple Sneakers crew. Bistro closes at 9pm so make sure you head down early for an amazing meal at super sweet prices!!!
Once you've heard the thumping, anthemic indie surf-pop of Floating Vibes, the bubbly Afro beat percussion of Take It Easy, the re-verb heavy Swim (To Reach The End) and the 90s indie stylings of Twin Peaks and you will be hooked. Surfer Blood aren't shy of genre hopping, melding their nostalgia of classic rock together with their love of 90s indie and more
contemporary experimentation with new electronic sounds in pop and guitar-based production.
Already favourites of Pitchfork, Stereogum and The New York Times, people are expecting big things from Surfer Blood when their debut album drops in January. The band aren't phased however, they are just happy to ride the wave.
