It's a shame that Neon Indian will release their debut LP, titled Psychic Chasms, on October 13th. It's disappointing not because every track on Chasms is excellent, but because autumn is not the season for this record.
This album, with its lo-fi electronics, disco loops, and syrupy pop, belongs to the summer. It owes its creation to John Hughes, July, and August.
The brainchild behind the band's sublime sounds is twenty-one year old Alan Palomo, who also helms the hi-fi electro-pop of VEGA. However, Neon Indian is more than just Palomo's gauche shoegaze side project. Despite the drop-off in fidelity, his work here far surpasses its more mainstream counterpart.
Chock-full of pop sensibilities that seem carved out of mall trips during the 1980s, Psychic Chasms revels in its lack of polish and wraps its charm in dated synthesizers and out of tune melodies.
Download the tracks below before sweater weather is in and sunscreen is out.
