Neon Indian Essentials

Neon Indian Essentials

There's no mistaking the "Neon" in this bright, kaleidoscopic brew of electro-pop. Led by Mexico-born, Texas-based Alan Palomo, Neon Indian arose in 2009 as chillwave pioneers. Palomo's early vocals feel as if they are slowly baking in the sun, as the band gives shoegaze a mirage-inducing, psychedelic treatment, complete with '80s-inspired synths. They've continued to build on this warm and woozy sound, letting guitars rise out of thick pools of reverb to get loose and funky, and fattening up beats with disco glitz. This mix explores that full evolution, from beachy reveries to slick dance grooves.
