Alan Palomo of Neon Indian teams with Mac DeMarco for new single

Hear the chillwave fixture’s ‘Nudista Mundial ’89’ now.

Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter, producer and synth connoisseur Alan Palomo has signalled his long-awaited return with the release of a new single under his given name made in collaboration with Mac DeMarco.

‘Nudista Mundial ‘89’ marks both Palomo’s first new music to arrive in several years and the beginning of a new creative chapter for the chillwave fixture, departing from the longstanding Neon Indian moniker under which he garnered and sustained lengthy critical acclaim over the course of three albums beginning with 2009’s Psychic Chasms.

Palomo explains of his buoyant comeback single,

“While working on a few tunes, I was trying to get a hold of this certain piano. My keyboard player told me Mac had one at his studio so I hit him up. And on one breezy day in May, we sang a duet about two guys going to a nude beach together in Ibiza.”
