Dave Alvin West of the West 10/14/08 Alan Palomo (fka Neon Indian)

Alan Palomo (fka Neon Indian) is making his return this year with the brand new album World of Hassle

I’m fortunate to count a lot of world class songwriters as good pals and I wanted to shine a little light on some of my favorite examples of their work

A magical blend of AOR/sophisticated funk/synth-boogie/spiritual jazz and modern soul

Under this new name Drew found himself making the kind of music he would DJ with or play to friends without the pressure of the conceptual weighing him down

Every shot call is true to the voice and simply pleasant
