Album Notes & Community Reviews

Retiring the Neon Indian moniker, Palomo releases his first project under his own name, leaning heavily into incredibly lush, 1980s-inspired sophisti-pop. The album is an undeniably infectious, saxophone-laced tribute to Italo-disco and city pop, dripping with glamorous nostalgia and wry, playful lyricism.
