Put on your best flamboyant mirror shades and brace to party like it\u2019s 1983. Split Works presents heart-warped synth wizard Neon Indian<\/b>,<\/i> playing two dates in Beijing and Shanghai on 19-20 November.<\/p>\n
Neon Indian <\/b>plays China off the back his new album, VEGA INTL. Night School<\/i> (out October 16). Developed over a four-year period, the album brims with funk-centric guitar lines, pronounced Balearic rhythms, and the most elaborate songwriting of his career. VEGA INTL. Night School<\/i> was composed and recorded in a variety of locations including, but not limited to, a cabin aboard a cruise ship, DFA\u2019s Plantain Studios in New York, and Pure X\u2019s practice space in Austin, Texas. Upon its completion, Alan noted \u201cmost of what I\u2019ve learned about human nature in my twenties has happened after dark. People are just kind of more honest then. More deliberate. I like to call the places I go to Night Schools.\u201d<\/p>\n
Neon Indian first became popular around the turn of the ’00s as one of the standard-bearers for \u201cchillwave\u201d. His specific strain of electro-pop heartache sounded like it’d been recovered from half-melted cassette tapes, tending towards the druggy, groggy, and reflective (while nodding just slightly toward dance music). His critically acclaimed debut album Psychic Chasms<\/i> was released in 2009 on a wave of praise from Fader, Pitchfork, Spin and Rolling Stone among others.<\/p>\n
He then took on US Late Night television playing the Jimmy Fallon show, remixed Grizzly Bear and Au Revoir Simone, made festival appearances at Pitchfork Music Festival and Bonnaroo, as well as supporting Massive Attack on their first shows in America in 4 years. His second album, Era Extra\u00f1a, <\/i>was released in 2011. Darker and more serious than Psychic Chasms<\/i>, the album reached 74 on the Billboard 200 charts, and appeared on a number of end-of-year best music lists.<\/p>\n
In August 2015, Neon Indian announced his long-awaited third album, VEGA INTL. Night School<\/i> while simultaneously dropping the album\u2019s second single \u201cSlumlord.\u201d Pitchfork described it as \u201clike dancing faces glimpsed for one flash in an otherwise darkened nightclub, suggesting one last gasp of the ecstatic before the hard reality of life returns the morning after.\u201d<\/p>\n
