Neon Indian is a chillwave band from Denton, Texas. The music is composed by Alan Palomo, also known for his work with the band Ghosthustler and as the artist VEGA. The band's debut, Psychic Chasms has received many favorable reviews, including the designation of Best New Music and 14th best album of 2009 by Pitchfork Media. Rolling Stone Magazine called Neon Indian one of the hottest new bands of 2010.

 

Palomo had been writing and performing music a few years before the inception of Neon Indian, in his projects Ghosthustler and VEGA. Shortly before the release of Psychic Chasms, Palomo said he planned on releasing another album as VEGA, although this has not yet happened. In an interview, Palomo cites his father as a musical influence, "just because that's how he makes his living-- he had a brief stint in the late 70s and early 80s as a Mexican pop star." Palomo also shared that he sampled some of his father's material in Palomo's work as Neon Indian.

 

The name Neon Indian was conceived by an ex-girlfriend of Palomo's, who was also the subject of their song "Should Have Taken Acid With You." The song was originally presented to his then girlfriend to make up for a missed acid date. Her positive reaction to the song spurred Palomo to continue writing more songs as Neon Indian.

 

On October 13, 2009, Palomo released his debut LP Psychic Chasms on Lefse Records. The album was designated Best New Music by music website Pitchfork Media. Pitchfork 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" came in at number 13. The Hype Machine ranked Psychic Chasms as the 47th best album of 2009. Spin Magazine praised the album for its "dreamy collage of samples and synth tones."
