... Town Hall : So I hear that you guys were tearing things up at CMJ. How has that experience been? AlanPalomo: It was pretty wild. It's definitely very different from SXSW. That was sort of the universal thing we were anticipating but it really doesn't have the same sort of homely vibe to it. It's hard to navigate through the city and if you're playing a lot of shows it can be almost...
AlanPalomo and friends killed it on the synths at last Saturday’s Levi’s®/FADER Fort, playing as his “other” band – VEGA, since Neon Indian was not available. Their super-dancey “No Reasons” left no able-bodied person standing still on the dancefloor. We kind of wanted to dance too, but we had to hold cameras and [...]
words by Andrew Friscano , photos by Benjamin Lozovsky Neon Indian made their NYC debut Saturday, October 24th at the Root Studio in Williamsburg , on a bill with Almighty Defenders and Cale Parks . Neon Indian's first record, Psychic Chasms (which came out on October 13th ), is a solo project of ex- Ghosthustler AlanPalomo , whose other, more disco "solo act," VEGA , played a Pool Party...
Neon Indian is a collaboration between composer AlanPalomo and his friend and visual artist Alicia Scardetta, who's presumably responsible for the act's live show. This clip of Neon Indian doing Psychic Chasms cut "Should've Taken Acid With You," showcases the psychotropic light show that's apparently integral to the project's performance. It's not a Knife-caliber showing...
"Deadbeat Summer" from the album Psychic Chasms 2009 iTunes Remember tape cassettes? No, me neither. Not until AlanPalomo's Neon Indian reminded me how it sounded when a tape played so much it unraveled in the deck: twisted, flanging, and misshapen. Still, retro and warped suits the project's simple arrangements, which, with sonic manipulation and Korg interjections, are as...
... be getting is nothing less than what it deserves frankly. Neon Indian is the project of composer AlanPalomo who hails from Austin, Texas and put together some field recordings and made something special. It’s eighties…yet it’s not…just hear it and listen for yourself, the mix of dreampop (and here I don’t mean shoegazing type stuff, I MEAN pop that sounds dreamy), guitars, weirdness...

... night. DJ's on the bill for the early-morning party afterwards included Lemonade , Neon Indian / AlanPalomo , Jaime from the xx and 20 Jazz Funk Greats (and Pitchfork also lists Deerhunter 's Moses Archuleta as one of the people who spun). I personally didn't make it over to the Brooklyn show, though I caught The Smith Westerns and a face-melting set by an under-the-weather-frontman-fronted...
Super hyped dreampop group Neon Indian , aka the duo of AlanPalomo and Alicia Scardetta, is on tour this fall in support of the debut album that made them a super hyped dreampop group. Fresh off a slew of appearance at this year’s CMJ Music Marathon, Neon Indian will support Psychic Chasms with dates across the U.S. throughout November before wrapping up in Phoenix on the 22nd. The group...
... is great music. Which brings me to Neon Indian and the debut album "Psychic Chasms". AlanPalomo is the man behind the name, having spent previous musical incarnations under the monikers of Ghosthustler and VEGA. Why the reason for yet another name change? From what I understand, a large part of the Neon Indian project stems from Palomo's collaboration with visual...

Brooklyn band Neon Indian still remain a mystery to me. They were borne out of a hazy winter gathering in Texas, the mastermind of composer AlanPalomo. Their music falls somewhere between dreampop and psychedelia, mixing in field [...]
I’m having a ball checking out all this new music, looking for FREE MP3s to share for Hispanic Heritage Month. And I’m not even halfway done... because Hispanic Heritage Month lasts until October 15. (I know. Weird, right') Found a young dude named AlanPalomo – based in Austin, Texas; born in Monterrey, Mexico – and he’s got a synth-pop project called VEGA...
