Neon Indian: Era Extraña

by Alix Critchley – Burnsview Secondary School, BC Nov 2, 2011

4 stars

Go back to the 1980s with Neon Indian.

Reminiscent of the an earlier time, Neon Indian’s third album is a brilliant collection of synth-tastic instrumentals and ballads. Many of the songs like the title track, Era Extraña, have an overall haunting feel, and if you’re looking for some relaxed, ethereal listening, this album is all that and more. This is an excellent compilation, but the washed out, lo-fi sound can become tiresome really quickly. I’d say this album is best kept for long drives in the rain or as chilled-out background music.

Alix's fave track: Fallout
