Imagine this: MGMT without all the face paint, on a time warp to the 80s.

Is this possible? No.

But, if it were, the product would sound just like Neon Indian’s inaugural album “Psychic Chasms.”

Behind the synthesized mix of 80s pop and video game-like sound is Austin native, Alan Palomo. Following his short-lived first attempt in the band Ghosthustler, Palomo has broken out with “Psychic Chasms.”

The first track, titled “AM,” is an arcade game themed 25 seconds that leads you into the second track, “Deadbeat Summer.” By far the most successful song of the album, this track is, as the title states, a summer tune with an Earth, Wind and Fire feel.

The rest of the album expands on this summer-like feeling, telling tales of summer days and summer nights. “Should Have Taken Acid with You,” the album’s seventh track, uses minimal vocals, focusing on the trademark video game sounds and synth waves to take the listener on a musical acid trip.

The title track is a dreamlike, mellow dance beat that will have you bobbing your head in under 10 seconds, although consecutive listening may lead to headaches due to the high pitched synth involved.

“Psychic Chasms” appeals to music lovers of many genres, mostly to those who love synth, 80s style arcade games and hardcore MGMT fans. Neon Indian is currently on tour, but will return to Austin for a performance at Fun Fun Fun Fest Nov. 7.
