NEON INDIAN - PSYCHIC CHASMS

Neon Indian, a psychathetic sunburned side project between Alan Palomo of VEGA and Manhattan video artist Alicia Scardetta, is coming out with their full-length debut, Psychic Chasms (album art above), on October 13th. It'll be released via Lefse Records, who best described the upcoming album: 

"Neon Indian delivers equal parts synthetic nostalgia, Dreampop lullabies, and grinding guitar noise to create something eerier than the sum of its parts. Forged after a hazy winter gathering in Texas, this initial batch of tracks were the result of field recordings, record samples, a collection of bizarre synth sounds... Orbiting around the themes of drug induced heartbreak, weary afternoons, and lost chances, this music provides a lush soundtrack to the deadbeat exploits of teenage ennui."

So far, I already posted a track by the psychelectric duo a month or two ago, but their most recently leaked tune, "Terminally Chill," can't be missed. A hazy, drug-induced trek through a hot summer's day, Neon Indian dance for the sky, because the sun is their disco ball. 

Tracklist:

RELENTLESS

Relentless is like viewing a large expanse of land with the eye of an eagle. You see every little detail while still being able to view the whole picture. The sun is setting, casting a golden shadow against the puffy, white, cumulus clouds. You inhale and you exhale. Pretty poetic, right? Well, Relentless are basically electronic poets.

Hailing from San Francisco, California, the duo blend dramatic House with experimental techno in a seemingly "relentless" (excuse the pun) array of beats, synths, and melodies, all whilst hurling a barrage of disco at the dancefloor. I put together a little .zip file that will allow you to fully experience Relentless. enjoy:
