Neon Indian - Psychic Chasms and Neu! - 4


Neon Indian's debut album opens up with track Deadbeat Summer, perfect for summer. very chilled. Laughing Gas is a brilliant instrumental track. Terminally Chill is good also. 6669 (I don't know if you know) rocks along. Should have taken Acid with you is good. Mind Drips is excellent. Psychic Chasms is good. Local Joke is brilliant probably best track on here in 4/3 timing. Ephemeral Artery is good. as a whole this album works because it has this lo fi apporach, with vintage syth sounds, and the sound seems to fade in and out, sounds brilliant on headphones, with plenty of kick and snare, nice beats and a dash of guitar. 8/10


First track Crazy is superb. with some punk guitar it sounds like it came from Neu! 75. drums propel this song along nicely. Flying Dutchman is a faint version of Good life which will appear later. Schoene Welle (Nice Wave) is very pleasant to listen to. as for Wave Naturelle which has particularly nice bass parts. Good Life (Random-Rough) is great with some good keyboard parts and bells. Daenzing is very fun and easy to dance to. lyrics like ''Dancing with my baby'' . Quick Wave Machinelle is great too. Bush Drum is very good also. La Bomba (Stop Aparthijd Worldwide) is fun to dance to . Good Life is great. Elanoizan is great too. as a whole Neu! 4 has a very souless sound with drum machines and synth, but its got all the right aspects of a good album, its produced well, good musicianship. I think its a vital step for synth pop and many critics don't seem to agree with me as alot of people seem to think this is Neu!s poorest album. 8/10
