_Neon Indian cover of “Mi Viejo” by Jose Piero and release Fall tour dates

I must admit after listening to Neon Indian’s cover of “Another Likely Story” by Au Revoir Simone, I’ve kind of become a mini super fan.  The original version was excellent and the remix was well, more excellent.

This time around Neon Indian plays an acoustic cover of “Mi Viejo” by Jose Piero. I must also admit that I have never heard of Jose Piero. And I don’t speak Spanish. But this cover taped at Barcadia in Dallas, Texas for Fader TV is exceptional.  Completely raw and slow in tempo, Alan Palomo sings from a bar stool tapping sleigh bells while the band harmonizes ‘ooo’s’ beside him.  Palomo shows off his musical versatility and even represents his home country of Mexico in a mere five minutes.

“Terminally Chill” is a spacey multi-instrument, multi-media tune off of Neon Indian’s forthcoming album ‘Psychic Chasms.’ Dreamy and psychedelic in sound, this song is easy to kick off one’s shoes, lay back and stare out into Palomo’s light electronic wonderment. Understanding the lyrics could be the only problem.

Neon Indian’s forthcoming album ‘Psychic Chasms‘ hits the streets October 13, 2009 on Lefse.  Check out Palomo and Neon Indian and/or Vega, touring this fall and to the end of 2009.
