Dev Hynes, AKA indie pop artist Lightspeed Champion, plans to release a series of free bootleg albums online. The first, 'House-Sitting Songs' was recently made available on www.lightspeedchampion.com.
The eleven track album was recorded while Hynes was house-sitting for a friend, and includes is a cover of Patience and Prudence's Tonight You Belond To Me with Charlotte Froom of The Like.
A blog on Hynes' website reads, "I've decided to gradually over a period of time post all the stupid albums I make that (some people, but mostly) no one ever hears ... So I decided that in every gap in the week that I found myself sitting down, or watching t.v. or waiting for tea to brew or logging onto facebook. I would write and record a song instead, without any real thought behind it, and by making words up essentially as I went along."
