MP3: Neon Indian - "Polish Girl"

Last week, I posted "Fallout," the newest single from Neon Indian's forthcoming album Era Extraña. While that track was more of a chill sleeper, "Polish Girl" (thankfully) is not. The new new single dropped on NPR a couple of days ago and is the kind of glowing, spaced-out retro-pop Alan Palomo does best.

MP3: New Neon Indian - "Fallout"

What's that? You haven't heard the lastest Neon Indian single, off his forthcoming album Era Extraña? Is the rhetorical nature of this post trying your patience?

Either way, "Fallout" isn't half bad, though it does find Neon Indian (aka Alan Palomo) ditching the lo-fidelity sounds of his '08 debut and embracing the production styles of his VEGA project. Still, the track's strong enough to build excitement for the eventual LP and I suppose that's what matters most...

MP3: Holiday Shores' "Spells" Sounds Like Summer

The debut LP from Florida's Holiday Shores doesn't drop 'til September, but the record's first single, "Spells," is all kinds of summer-night goodness. Reminds me of Neon Indian-meets-The Wild, the Innocent & the E Street Shuffle. Put this one on next time you take your baby to the boardwalk.

Com Truise Preps Debut Album, Drops a New Single

Is there anything Ghostly International puts out that isn't electronic goodness? Com Truise is the latest producer to hook-up with the label and they'll be putting out his debut record of spaced-out keyboards and drum-machine riddims, Galactic Melt.

The LP is Truise's full-length follow-up to last year's Cyanide Sisters EP. If that disc is a barometer, then Galactic Melt should scratch your hazy, retro-electro itch until Neon Indian puts out another record.

"Polyhurt" is the first low-key slice of new material and it sounds like something Patrick Bateman might put on while cruising the street for ATMs, cats and/or prostitutes.

Neon Indian's Mind Ctrl: Psychic Chasms Possessed

In case you missed it last year, Neon Indian's chillwave classic, Psychic Chasms, has been reissued/remastered. While I still can't wrap my mind around remastering the intentionally lo-fi album, the LP is being packaged with Mind Ctrl: Psychic Chasms Possessed, a group of remixes from acts like Toro Y Moi, the Antlers, YACHT, Javelin, DNTEL, and Bibio.

I've been pimping Neon Indian for awhile now and Psychic Chasms is one of my favourite releases from the past few years, but this remix record is so good, good enough to stand on its own. Each aforementioned artist (plus a few more) brings something new to the table, pumping fresh life into Neon Indian's now year-old, hazy, electronic jams. I've posted some highlights down below.

P.S. Both albums are now available digitally at your web-vendor of choice, but if you want a physical copy, you're going to have to wait until the end of the month via FADER Label.
