Neon Indian’s Alan Palomo Announces New Album World of Hassle, 2023 Tour Dates
The post Neon Indian’s Alan Palomo Announces New Album World of Hassle, 2023 Tour Dates appeared first on Consequence.
It looks like Alan Palomo has shed his Neon Indian moniker for the foreseeable future: The electro-pop musician has announced World of Hassle, his debut album under his real name. Ahead of the LP’s September 15th release via Mom+Pop, Palomo has shared its latest single “Stay-at-Home DJ.” He’ll celebrate with a North American tour throughout Fall 2023.
World of Hassle first manifested as the next Neon Indian record following 2015’s Vega Intl. Night School, but naturally, things changed once the height of the pandemic hit; that album concept and the Neon Indian moniker both began to feel a bit restricting, so Palomo dropped them both.
But longtime fans can still expect a pretty familiar sound from World of Hassle. It combines elements of vaporwave, rock, and cumbia, which backdrop his biting, politically-charged lyrics. Like your favorite black comedy, Palomo wraps his dead-serious topics with a playful exterior. Pre-orders for physical copies are ongoing.
“Stay-at-Home DJ” was the first song Palomo had in mind for World of Hassle, written back in 2019 with his brother Jorge. In an era where 15 seconds on TikTok can turn a bedroom musician into a superstar overnight, the track pokes fun at aspiring cool kids who keep their bangs cut short, their Juuls charged, and their printers ready to churn out some DJ set fliers.
“She doesn’t know what she’s talking about/ She’s never listened to Prefab Sprout,” Palomo laments. “What even is a DJ?/ It might as well be you!” It hits close to home if you’ve spent enough time in Bushwick.
Speaking of, that’s where Palomo will close out his fall tour with a full band, which begins on October 17th in San Fransisco. Ticket pre-sale will begin throughout the week, and you can sign up to be notified over at Palomo’s website; once tickets are on sale, you can also check StubHub, where your orders is 100% guaranteed through StubHub’s FanProtect program.

Palomo returned last month with the Mac DeMarco collaboration “Nudista Mundial ’89.” That was his first release since his still-fantastic 2019 single “Toyota Man.”
