NEW ALBUM VEGA INTL. NIGHT SCHOOL NAMED BEST NEW MUSIC BY PITCHFORK & IS OUT NOW
WATCH “SLUMLORD RISING” HERE
Coinciding with Friday’s release of the acclaimed new album VEGA INTL. Night School, Neon Indian (aka Alan Palomo) has shared an epic short film “Slumlord Rising.” Opening with a stunning continuous four minute tracking shot, the film delves into the seedy, and sometimes blood-soaked, Los Angeles nightlife world. Co-directed by Palomo and Tim Nackashi, the film is presented as part of a special collaboration with Yours Truly and Wetransfer, arriving in conjunction with a complete oral history of VEGA INTL. Night School featuring the voices of 15 of the album’s contributors.
The new video arrives alongside a relaunch of Neon Indian’s hotline number, which was originally introduced in August to give fans a taste of the new material. Fans who call +1-512-643-VEGA will hear a special greeting from Alan and be sent a preview gif of the video.
In the weeks surrounding the album’s release, VEGA INTL. Night School has garnered a Best New Music review from Pitchfork, yielded an energetic live performance on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon last week, and inspired a slew of features from FADER, COMPLEX, Paste, Fast Company, Village Voice, VICE, Slant, DIY, SPIN, NPR First Listen and Entertainment Weekly.

PRESS QUOTES ON VEGA INTL. NIGHT SCHOOL:
“The most deluxe, comprehensive Neon Indian album yet.” – PITCHFORK
“Palomo peels back the layers of psychedelia that have sometimes obscured his
work in the past, striving for a directness that results in the most crystallized –
and accessible – version of his aesthetic yet.” – ROLLING STONE
“This is not only Neon Indian’s best record, it is one of the best of the entire
year.” – THE 405
“A grizzly splendor of spindled guitars and futuristic synth lines, while vocally he
reaches for an intone that could reasonably pass as Prince in braggadocio form.” – UNDER THE RADAR
“The album rewards investment in its world, and that world feels fully realized –
alive, even.” – THE VERGE
