Neon Indian: Lee's Palace video and interview →
Five months on, and I haven’t tired of Neon Indian at all.
Psychic Chasms, that woozy, wobbly ’80s-biting synthpop debut album, placed at #8 on my Best-of-2009 list, and at #48 on the decade-end chart, but it’s been such a grower it’s busted a move up both charts, probably to inside of the Top Five and Top 40 on the same lists.
On a larger scale, Neon Indian’s had a groovy 2010. Alan Palomo and company played the major indie music festivals in Toronto and Austin, and lit up Jimmy Fallon’s NBC talk show in early February - the latter a last-second gift from Fallon when a scheduled band failed to make the date. Fallon’s got a supporter for life in Palomo, I bet.
Last month, Neon Indian added a top-grade single to the discography in “Sleep Paralysist,” a marginally cleaner (read: more produced) synthpop gem that owes a little to Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark and Yellow Magic Orchestra. Get it from Green Label Sound. It’s free, so come on.
And here’s a link to Aux.TV’s profile on Neon Indian, pieced together when they played Toronto’s Lee’s Palace in early March. Click here.
