WATCH "SLUMLORD RISING" HERE:
Coinciding with last weeks's release of the acclaimed new album VEGA INTL Night School, Neon Indian (aka Alan Palomo) has shared an epic short film "Slumlord Rising." Opening with a stunning continuous four minute tracking shot, the film delves into the seedy, and sometimes blood-soaked, Los Angeles nightlife world. Co-directed by Palomo and Tim Nackashi, the film is presented as part of a special collaboration with Yours Truly and Wetransfer, arriving in conjunction with a complete oral history of VEGA INTL Night School featuring the voices of 14 of the album's contributors.
The new video arrives alongside a relaunch of Neon Indian's hotline number, which was originally introduced in August to give fans a taste of the new material. Fans who call +1-512-643-VEGA will hear a special greeting from Alan and be sent a preview gif of the video.
In the weeks surrounding the album's release, VEGA INTL Night School has garnered a Best New Music review from Pitchfork, yielded an energetic live performance on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon, and inspired a slew of features from FADER, COMPLEX, Paste, Fast Company,Village Voice, VICE, Slant, DIY, SPIN, NPR First Listen, Entertainment Weekly, and more.

"The most deluxe, comprehensive Neon Indian album yet." - PITCHFORK
"Palomo peels back the layers of psychedelia that have sometimes obscured his work in the past, striving for a directness that results in the most crystallized - and accessible - version of his aesthetic yet." - ROLLING STONE
"This is not only Neon Indian's best record, it is one of the best of the entire year." - THE 405
"A grizzly splendor of spindled guitars and futuristic synth lines, while vocally he reaches for an intone that could reasonably pass as Prince in braggadocio form." - UNDER THE RADAR
"The album rewards investment in its world, and that world feels fully realized - alive, even." - THE VERGE
