Neon Indian is an indie electronic act hailing from Denton, Texas. The music is composed by the talented Mexican-born artist Alan Palomo, who was born on July 24, 1988.

The name Neon Indian was inspired by one of Palomo's ex-girlfriends, who also served as the muse for their song "Should Have Taken Acid With You." Originally intended as a musical apology for missing an acid date, her positive reaction to the song encouraged Palomo to continue creating more music under the Neon Indian moniker.

In 2023, Alan Palomo decided to let go of the Neon Indian project and its associated ideas. Instead, he embraced a new concept and released his latest LP under his full given name "Alan Palomo." After completing the album in 2022 during summer studio sessions following the pandemic hiatus, he announced its release at the end of summer with several singles. Additionally, he revealed plans for touring in the fall under "Alan Palomo Live," featuring mostly the same band members. This marks a fresh era and direction for him as an artist while hinting at the sound he sought in his final Neon Indian project showcased in "Toyota Man."

Back In Stock

Neon Indian returns with his third full-length album 'Vega Intl - Night School' on Transgressive Records. The new record is Alan Palomo's flawless bridge between the lofi and spontaneous sounds of Neon Indian and the more dance-oriented approach of his earlier recording moniker, Vega. Part of the album was created on a cruise ship with Alan and his brother Jorge, who was working on the ship as a bass player in the house band. They set up a studio in one of the cabins and tracked songs between margaritas as the ship traversed the Bahamas from Florida. Palomo then returned to the mainland to finish the record doing tracking in Austin, Atlanta and New York including a stint at DFA's Plantain Studios. The result is more funk-centric and varied than his previous material. Alan teamed up with Alex Epton (XXXchange) to mix the album, using trashy B movies and New York flicks as a reference point for the albums tone. More than ever, the goal of this LP was intended to be a film score to an imaginary film playing indefinitely at the neglected theaters or porno booths of Alan's head. The album wasn't without its drama with Alan slipping on some icy stairs on his way to the studio, requiring 9 stitches and leaving him with a scar that will forever remind him of the record. 2LP - Yellow vinyl double LP includes digital download
