[VID] Neon Indian | Mind Drips

What else would you expect from the chillwave King? A trippy video to go with the out-of-this-world sound.

Neon Indian: New Label, New Single

|:|Chillwave Extraordinaire |:|

Here is an awesome new single from [it's safe to say] founding father of the chillwave genre, Neon Indian [aka Alan Palomo]. He was kind of under my radar last year but his sound is quite enthralling and dance heavy. His sound is not completely computer generated, he does include instruments in live performances, so all those traditional music enthusiasts can't entirely dismiss Mr. Palomo.

Aw Shucks! (Superb Tunes I Missed Out On In 2009)

Trying to find new music is not the easiest thing when it comes to being in college. It's like trying to sleep in Las Vegas. (There's too much to do and so little time to do everything you planned) Winter break has been a nice change of pace. I have had ample time to search the internet and find new music. With just about every blog doing a list of top albums or songs I have discovered some pretty good stuff that would have certainly made it on my list of Most Important Albums or Top Songs.

Local Natives - Gorilla Manor

Cymbals Eat Guitars - Why There are Mountains

Sunset Rubdown - Dragonslayer

Wild Beasts - Two Dancers

The Drums - Summertime EP


Neon Indian - Psychic Chasms
