This brain-scrambling psychedelic mash of a record betrays Dave Fridmann’s co-production, but Palomo’s mind is all his ownĪn agreeable listening experience with moments of catchiness and beauty throughoutĪ second album that’s easy to admire but hard to love Improves on the "chillwave" (read: low-fi synth pop) of its 2009 debut, dunking dreamy early-MTV haircutband balladry in layers of psychedelic schmutz, almost hiding excellent songs in the murk But this time around, it’s slightly veiled in darkness Part of what makes Era Extraña a great follow-up to Psychic Chasms is that it features the same lazy summer feel that made Neon Indian’s debut so popular. This is a far more serious record than its predecessorĮra Extraña does not flow as smoothly as Psychic Chasms but the influences are in all the right places His first album as Neon Indian was sun-struck and woozy the mood, on the follow-up, has grown a little darkerĮra Extraña, which we take here to mean 'strange era', includes more vocals, more variety, and even more pop-based weirdness

This is music that puts a smile on your face and a bounce in your step as you lose yourself in the smooth electronicsĪ lesson in how to execute electronic music properly expand and amplify the nostalgically ambient sound they helped to define on their 2009 debut Neon Indian is clearly honing their craft and proving that the musical trend they helped to create, won't be going out of style anytime soonĮxhilarating aural ambitions. Sports the admirable trait of being so much like many of the best psychedelic pop records in recent memory, while going a long way in forging Neon Indian’s own, very distinct musical identity Old school keyboards never sounded so modern Sort by ADM rating Sort by most recent reviewĪrguably one of the albums of the year.
