Era Extraña, Neon Indian's second LP, came out last month and it is pure electro-pop bliss! Following an unexpected 4-track EP collaboration with The Flaming Lips out last spring, Alan Palomo (better know as Neon Indian) finally released a sequel to the amazing 2009 Psychic Chasms. Supporting the new album, Palomo and his musicians are touring North American alongside amazing synth artist Com Truise from New Jersey, and the intriguing up-and-coming band from Edmonton, Purity Ring.

Sam Beam, better know as Iron & Wine, has been establishing himself as an one of the most talented folk artist of his generation. It all started with his first album released in 2002 on Sub Pop, followed by two other LPs, several contributions to soundtracks (a Postal Service cover of Such Great Heights for the Garden State movie, notably), EPs / B-sides compilations and live albums. This past January, Beam moved on to Warner Music and released his forth LP, Kiss Each Other Clean. This last effort was well received critically as it is the next logical step for Iron & Wine songs, tinted by pop and 70s influences with bolder layers of sound.
