Neon Indian and Oberhofer at Turner Hall Ballroom
Somewhere on a steep and unnerving precipice—the one that separates ambient experimentation from the MGMTs of the indieverse—sits Alan Palomo, also known as Neon Indian. The young Texan has a few different aliases (VEGA, Ghosthustler), but as Neon Indian, he pushes beats out of cheap speakers in all sorts of interesting and unexpected ways. Sometimes that means danceable disco; other times it’s more like squiggles, zaps, and gurgles. Mostly, however, it’s both: a full-on electronic freak-out that’s not so hard to hum along to. Two years after breaking through with Psychic Chasms, Palomo has been performing new songs intended for his sophomore album, due out this fall.
