New Neon Indian - Era Extraña


On September 13th chillwave pioneer Neon Indian will release his sophomore disc, Era Extraña.  The record will come out on his own Static Tongues imprint through Mom + Pop Music in North America.  If you're feeling ambitious, preorder the album now over at Alan Palomo's website, and if you're feeling especially ambitious order the delux package which includes a cd, a tshirt, a 12" vinyl, a poster, and a... custom synth?  That's right a custom synth.  Here is what Palomo has to say about the synth and if you want to hear a sample you can listen below via Soundcloud.

"We teamed up with our brethren homies in Austin, Bleep Labs, to proudly bring you the PAL 198X. It's a triple triangle-wave oscillator noisemaking device with interchangeable controls for maximal sonic contortion. You can attach knobs, light-reactive photocells, and a variety of other devices for semi-modular capabilities. It can interact with a variety of objects around your house whether electronic in nature or not. It can even interact with your pet. It does not make the same sound twice. Basically, I want you to hack this fucking thing."
