Based on blog buzz, Neon Indian went from being an obscure Austin, TX, duo
to one of 2009's most hotly tipped bands. The debut Psychic Chasms actually
lived up to the hype, which was no mean feat, especially because the band's
sound could be described as an improbable, hazy swirl of Daft Punk, My
Bloody Valentine, and a vintage game console. Neon Indian's watercolor
electronic indie pop -- which effortlessly blurs disco, electro, dream, and
synth pop together -- is mostly the product of one Indian, Alan Palomo (the
band's other half, Alicia Scardetta, provides visuals for his lush sonics).
Despite, or perhaps because of, the obsessive layers of sound in these
songs, Psychic Chasms has a decidedly homespun vibe, and Palomo's voice
often feels downright frail, almost drowned out by its dense surroundings.
In 2010, a deluxe version of Psychic Chasms was released featuring remixes
by Yacht, Bibio, and Dntel; highlights include Toro y Moi's reworking of
the anti-anthem "Deadbeat Summer" and the Body Language remix of "Should've
Taken Acid With You".
