It’s been upwards of four years since Alan Palomo’s Neon Indian released its last album, Era Extraña, a fun, warm little slice of electro-pop goodness that dealt with matters of the heart and featured arcade blues. Since then, it’s been a journey that has included stolen equipment and tracks, treks across Mexico and TED talks about great film producers, composers and their influences on his work as an “auteur.” Along the way, the groundwork for “Vega Intl. Night School” was being laid, and at the tail end of 2015, the project finally broke through to see the light of day. Turns out the album is every bit as quirky and cool as the trek that preceded it.
