The Neon Indian comes through with a new pseudonym in which he drastically shifts his sound outside his more traditional chillwave style for a much heavier influence from 80s sophisti-pop and house music (as well as city pop in tracks like ?La madrileņa?). In many ways, if you are at all a fan of Ginger Root, then you will feel right at home. The airy and heavy saxophone on every track balances out the rhythmic and hypnotic house grooves that back each track. On top of that the range of vocals from Alan adds even more groove to this already groovy album. I can understand where there is hate with an album like this, it?s very campy and has a lot of 80s-isms that many people will find annoying. But something about it just vibes from front to back (infinitely more than his Neon Indian music).
