I’ve been botally digging the work of Alan Palomo lately. First his excellent song ‘No Reasons‘ under his VEGA moniker. Now I found out he’s the one (well, him and a girl) behind the boards of Neon Indian. Wonder if he means Indian as in Gandhi or Indian as in Cherokee. Would be a bit weird to see a Neon Gandhi eh?! BANG. Their website says of them,

“…Neon Indian delivers equal parts synthetic nostalgia, dreampop lullabies, and grinding guitar noise to create something eerier than the sum of its parts…”

I wouldn’t even know where to start. It sounds quite vintage but really new at the same time, like someone’s just dusted down an old Cocteau Twins record, taken away lovely Liz Fraser‘s pipes, added a bit of Daft Punk, then mixed it with Air France/Aeroplane/That crew etc. Probably a really bad description but I don’t give a fuck. They don’t pay me to do this ken.

Very chilled. Very summer. Just good and fresh. And I can’t big-up ‘No Reasons‘ enough! Absolutely stunning dance tune.
