Big news for this guy, friends (hi, it’s me, the writer of this article physically pointing at himself): come this fall, I’ll finally be able to lay claim to having seen each of chillwave’s Holy Trinity of consecrated music artists (Toro Y Moi at Lollapalooza 2012 and Washed Out at an aftershow for the same festival featuring tUnE-yArDs, thanks for asking), and it’s all thanks to the Vibe Scribe himself, Neon Indian’s Alan Palomo!
That’s right: four years after their last record, 2015’s VEGA INTL. Night School, and ten years after their landmark debut Psychic Chasms, Neon Indian are once again hitting the road(s), surfing the sea(s), and pilotwings-ing through the open sky(ies) on a new North American tour called Invasion Musical Total!
And hey, as much as I hate to blindly speculate on the news page of the world’s most trusted and revered online music publication™, I gotta say: I’m thinkin’ this means some new Neon Indian music is finally in the pipeline!
Get ready for the hottest indie music trend of 2009–2011 to make a comeback as nostalgia for the nostalgia sound hits warbly new highs. Grab tickets/sign up for presale here, check out the full tour itinerary below, and keep an eye out for more chillwave news on the aughts’ hippest (and most dependable, respected, et cetera, et cetera) music news source (hi, it’s me, the guy pointing at this entire website now).
