Neon Indian - Polish Girl
Living in Richmond Virginia is pretty fun I guess… but I can’t help but wonder about the future. I can most definitely dig electronix, girls, computers, wires, LED’s, all that jazz. This video really hits the spot with just about everything listed above. Neon Indian is the new wave of new wave, maybe even post new wave (whatever that means). The new album titled Era Extraña is quite excellent. Unfortunately I am getting lazy in regards to the descriptions for this blog. Gotta get some weed, and a job then I’m sure things will get spicy again. Anyways Here’s what last.fm has to say about this posh posh band.
“Neon Indian is a chillwave band from Denton, Texas. The group is the current project of musician Alan Palomo, also known for his work with the band GhostHustler and as the artist Vega. The group has released two albums: “Psychic Chasms” (2009) and “Era Extraña” (2011).
The band began to garner attention in 2009 after several of their songs which had been posted online were favorably reviewed by music blogs and Web sites. On October 13, 2009, the group released its debut LP Psychic Chasms.
Pitchfork Media also listed two tracks from Psychic Chasms in their list of The Top 100 Tracks of 2009.
Should Have Taken Acid With You was listed as the year’s 74th top track and
Deadbeat Summer noticeably came in at number 13.
Shortly before the release of Psychic Chasms, Palomo said he planned on releasing another album as VEGA.
Palomo is joined on stage with Ronald Gierhart (guitar, vocals), Jason Faries (drums), and Leanne Macomber (keyboard).”
