Neon Indian at Axis
Well hello there fine people,
Yes it is that time of the year….when you can get a fish supper and a can of red stripe to wash it down at 5am…its FESTIVAL TIME. The axis boys have allowed me a little slot in their beautiful new sight to detail my thoughts on the biggest records of the month, who to look out for on the blogosphere and why you should be down at Axis every Wednesday during the festival (shameless plugging I know) to hear these beats and other fine semiquavers to fill your ear drums.
And so without further ado…let’s get down to business.
THIS WEEK:
Neon Indian
After tours with the likes of Chromeo, Massive Attack and Phoenix: Neon Indian the chillwave band from Texas will be gracing the Sneaky stage. Their sound: a coalation of synth mashed with riffs and enough reverb to keep you vibing for a week. Alan Paloma, the man with the korg jaw (see above), is the creator of this sound with his live band ensuring the synth lead mania of their album psychic chasms is recreated right on your doorstep.
The album, a masterpiece of dreamy tracks to all out 80’s 2 step has been the accompaniment to my summer with a snap shot of reference including, appropriately, deadbeat summer and the album titled track psychic chasm.

Since the release of the album many tracks have featured in a collage of top 100 songs of 2009. New material for 2010 including the free download on green label, sleep paralyses, has created the deserved hype for the band with a more sophisticated production approach without losing the synth lead drive of neon Indian . The prestigious rolling stones magazine have called them one of the hot tipped bands for 2010 and if that review isn’t enough for you @ Axis I refer to them as “crackingly good”.
Axis heads will know them best for their remix of Au revoir Simone – Another likely story which is a regular feature on the 1’s and 2’s and with the band stepping up to the plate on Wednesday I can hardly contain myself in excitement for other material that will dropped on the day.
