Mexican-born, Texas-raised Alan Palomo – better known as Neon Indian – will perform at the 9:30 Club on Oct. 13. The artist is set to release his latest album “VEGA INTL. Night School” on Oct. 16, Palomo’s first since 2011’s “Era Extra̱a.Û.
Singles “SlumlordÛ, “Annie” and “The Glitzy Hive” have already been released from “VEGA INTL. Night School” this month, with a music video for “Slumlord” coming soon, according to pictures posted on Palomo’s Instagram account.
On the upcoming album, Palomo reverts back to the glitchy tendencies and electro-pop sensibilities that first gave Neon Indian its cosmic quality in “Psychic Chasms” (2010). While Palomo is moving away from the humorous elements of “Psychic ChasmsÛ, with track names like “Laughing GasÛ, “Should Have Taken Acid With You” and “Terminally ChillÛ, this newest album still keeps things light-hearted and merry.
The newest singles from “VEGA INTL. Night School” make you feel as if you are simultaneously in paradise and a modern version of Miami Vice. Much more energetic than “Psychic ChasmsÛ, yet unshakably beachy, the latest album assures that concert-goers will have a kinetic and unique experience at the 9:30 Club on Oct. 13.
New Zealand native, New York-based vocalist, Tamaryn, will open for neon Indian. Tamaryn will showcase her latest album, “Cranekiss,” released August 2015.
