Alan Palomo

Singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, musician, filmmaker, DJ, and producer originally from Monterrey, Mexico. Palomo originally worked with a band known as Ghosthustler, but later took on a more ecstatic approach to electronic music and created the solo project VEGA (18). He later founded Neon Indian in which he would become recognized as a pioneer for the microgenre known as “chillwave". Alan regularly incorporates vintage synthesizers in his music which serve as the main foundation. As an aspiring filmmaker, he also composed scores for the films “Relaxer”, and “Everything Beautiful is Far Away”; and released his own film 86’d, for which he wrote the theme: Heaven’s Basement.

On May 1st 2023, following cryptic posts by Palomo on social media, he released a single under his own name for the first time which featured Mac demarco. This suggests that this is a new era of his career, leaving behind the name and group Neon Indian and releasing music under his own name going forward with his new musical and artistic styles. The single is sung in Spanish and English with Mac DeMarco on low vocals, as part of the new upcoming album that’s due out this year. Palomo also announced 3 new DJ tour dates going forward with his DJ part of his career for summer 2023. Alan also explains about the new single in a press release that “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”.
