Alan Palomo has been a force in the world of electronic music for over a decade, releasing three critically acclaimed LPs as the frontman of Neon Indian. Now, Alan Palomo has gone solo, with his first album in nearly a decade, World of Hassle, releasing September 15th on Mom + Pop. With a star-studded cast of guest features including Mac Demarco on “Nudista Mundial ‘89” and Flore Benguigui of L’Impératrice on “Meutrière,” World of Hassle is shaping up to be one of the best releases of 2023. Departing from the usual sonic stylings of Neon Indian, World of Hassle features fresh production that puts an analog-yet-modern twist on the classic Neon Indian sound. I recently had the chance to chat with Alan Palomo and we discussed his name change, the art that inspires his work, the genre of boogie and his future plans in the world of music and beyond.
