Alan Palomo

The plan was simple: a new album for Alan Palomo’s long-running project Neon Indian, thefourth installment of an unhurriedly growing body of work stretching back to 2009’s PsychicChasms, this time with a swerve into vintage Peruvian cumbia and a political album concept.But the self-imposed creative prompt turned out to be more of a muzzle, and the work stalled.Logistical problems set in. Then the pandemic happened. Deadlines came and went, thecreative thread got dropped, and the project went terminally adrift.Palomo also found himself similarly floating through the ambiguous psychic space ofquarantine, where time, space, and the meaning of concepts like “deadline” and “careertrajectory” start to shed their certainty. His attempts to find steady ground went wrong in almostslapstick fashion—when he invested in a professional home studio upgrade only to have aconstruction crew move in next door, followed by a particularly noisy nightingale that took upresidence outside his window. It started to feel like he was a protagonist in a Pynchon novel whofinds their certain-seeming life suddenly rebooted as comedy for the entertainment ofmysterious unknown parties.Like Oedipa Maas and Larry "Doc" Sportello before him, Palomo got through the experience bygiving himself over to the flow. He let go of the album concept, followed by the Neon Indian name. (“I said what I'd wanted to say with that project.”)
