Following much anticipation, Alan Palomo’s creation, Neon Indian, was finally brought to life on Oct. 10 with the debut of Psychic Chasms. Neon Indian first hit the indie blogosphere in mid-July, releasing two tracks destined to become seasonal anthems — “Terminally Chill” and “Deadbeat Summer.” With a low-fi electronica sound, the bands’ relaxed aesthetic became a staple across the globe. Just as their fresh tracks were about to turn stale, the band has backed up their early success with 30 minutes of new music that will please Neon Indian’s growing fan base.

While Palomo’s breathy vocals evoke a peaceful element, the hard beats and frequent use of the synthesizer creates a stark contrast to the lead singers laid back vibe. “7000 (Reprise)” is comparable to a variety of Daft Punk tracks, while the repetitive sound structure of “Mind, Drips” has a similar effect to those used in Cut Copy’s In Ghost Colours.

Yet, the band breaks away from the typical electronic pop of the last decade in “Local Joke.” With an intro that sounds like a manipulated version of the first few bars of “Teenage Wasteland,” the band reminds its listeners why they were so infatuated with Neon Indian to begin with: the combination of nostalgia for the musical past and a nod towards the technological advancements of the future.

Other notable tracks include a slower track entitled “Should Have Taken Acid With You,” and the more danceable namesake of the album, “Psychic Chasms.”

With so many interesting songs, it is no wonder that in just five days this album has already achieved much acclaim (Pitchfork has already proclaimed that Psychic Chasms is a “Best New Album”). So, throw a few of these songs on your iPod and get ready for this original music to get your head bopping on your way to class.
