Neon Indian (US)

Expectations are high when a band comes out of the gate with the label of “Best New Music” awarded by Pitchfork, but Alan Palomo’s group has had no trouble living up to the expectations. Their album Psychic Chasms made an impression at “Rolling Stone” magazine, which called Neon Indian one of the hottest bands of 2010. You know it’s serious when both of these publications can agree on a review. Neon Indian’s latest record is currently in the works and might be released before the OFF Festival, but in the meantime, the band has come out with an excellent collaboration with the Flaming Lips titled “Is David Bowie Dying?”
