We heard a lot of great new music today, but the brand new Neon Indian single definitely takes the cake. The track is the first we’ve heard from Alan Palomo in a little while and works well to negate any residual feeling that the project hit its stride back when it played a crucial role in spurring on the inimitable chillwave movement (RIP Carles). ‘Annie’ is big sounding, and where the differentiation between instruments and lowly sung vocal was once sacrificed for a low-fi sound, it revels in the sonic opposite and celebrates glam pop slung over a jaunted groove throughout. It’s big, bold, and still sounds wildly comfortable in its own skin. Whilst there aren’t any details of a forthcoming album yet, we’re sure that a new body of work is just around the corner. Hold tight.
