![]() ![]() ![]() To create the newa lbum, Palomo holed up in an efficiency apartment in Finland and cobbled it together from journal entries he made during the time. While understandably pressed for time due to performing at massive festivals like South by Southwest and Bonnaroo and touring with the Flaming Lips, Phoenix, and Massive Attack, fans can’t help but be antsy for new material.

You be the judge: check out the official video for “ Polish Girl” and download for FREE “Hex Girlfriend ( Twin Shadow remix)” below: The album Era Extraña, recorded in Helsinki, is an attempt to bring the musical/electronic experimentation one step further. Neon Indian has now relocated to Brooklyn. Another random fact: he studied film in college and his footage will appear in Terrence Malick’s new movie. He is the son of Jorge Palomo, who had a short-lived career as a pop singer in Monterrey during the ’80s –you can hear his hit in YouTube channel regiomusical Alan has sampled and used some of his dad’s music for Neon Indian. But who is Alan Palomo? He was born in Monterrey, Mexico, moved to San Antonio as a child, and started recording as Neon Indian in Denton, TX –he had two previous music projects: Ghosthustler and VEGA. The brainchild of Alan Palomo, Neon Indian released its debut Psychic Chasms in 2009, which was received with almost immediate praise from the music media. Neon Indian’s sound relies on nostalgic tunes surrounded by a collage of samples, considered part of the chillwave genre. Be it as it may, Neon Indian has taken 2012 by the horns, with a new album release (Sep 2011) Era Extraña and a tour to go with it –which will include Italy, Spain, Portugal, the UK, and a May 12 performance in New York City. Is it a band? Is he a solo artist? Is this one of those “projects” (like Alan Parsons Project, or Borderline Projects: a way to pursue one’s personal artistic interests, but keeping the doors open to let others give a hand, hoping it will work)? But I digress. Each week, we will feature a song or musical style whose rhythm, themes, melodic inflections or influences have earned it the name of Borderline Latin. ![]() Borderline Latin is an exploration of the influence of Latin music in styles, places and rhythms beyond its traditional borders, and of different types of cross-pollination between Latin music and other musical creatures. ![]()
