Ah yes, the infamous 'chillwave'. The band's album, Era Extraña, just dropped a week ago, and it is a chill as ever. Its like the chillest of chill- the king of chill... or whatever. Neon Indian's sound has evolved from their first album that only just came out last year. I wonder why they decided to put up yet another album almost a year later, but I bet their fans don't mind. The new chill Neon Indian sound is a lot more, well, polished. It doesn't sound like it was recorded in someone's bedroom. It's a lot less raw (but still raw at the same time?). The jarring lo-fi sound of something like Deadbeat Summer is long gone. That sound has been replaced with some chiptuney-esque electronic noises. Even so the albums still feels pretty much the same with the same ole Washed Out vibe.
It's no wonder Neon Indian is going to tour with the likes of Com Truise. Com Truise is synth heavy and super 80's. Neon Indian is channeling a lot of the same vibes. But more chill. A lot more chillllll.
As for Polish Girl, well it is a catchy song. I guess it'll put you in a good mood. I don't know. It speaks for itself. I can understand why people would and would not like the single. It feels fresh as it is in your face electronic and indie. This kind of synth-pop is in. And yet you know sadly it could put some people to sleep. I'm one of those dummies who usually doesn't understand song lyrics, and this song can get tricky like that for me.
Eh, you can't win with everyone. Oh well.
