Neon Indian’s Alan Palomo has announced his first album under his own name, World of Hassle, due September 15 via Mom+Pop (pre-order). The album includes Alan’s recent single with Mac DeMarco “Nudista Mundial ’89” and the just-released “Stay-At-Home DJ.” Of the new song, Alan says, “My brother and I wrote it back in 2019 and performed it on the last Neon Indian tour. It signaled a change in direction I’d been looking for but had yet to really know what to do with. When things slowed down during the pandemic I dusted it off and from its uncontrollable outgrowth came World of Hassle.” It’s a dose of Alan’s trademark ’80s pop nostalgia and it comes with an animated video by Johnny Woods. Check it out below.
Alan also announced a full-band tour for this fall, including stops in LA, NYC, Chicago, Philly, Dallas, and more.
The NYC date is November 11 at Elsewhere Hall and that goes on sale Friday (6/9) at 10 AM. All dates are listed below.
