Era Extraña
''Era Extraña'' is the second studio album by American electronic music band Neon Indian. Recorded in the winter of 2010–11 during Palomo's visit to Finland, it was released on September 7, 2011 by Static Tongues and Mom + Pop Music. Containing influences and elements of psychedelic pop, shoegaze, and new wave, the break-up album has the same sound and summer-y feel that was on the band's debut studio album ''Psychic Chasms'', but with a darker and more serious tone. The record was generally well received by critics, with some reviewers calling it more focused, tight and cohesive than ''Psychic Chasms'' and some praising the song crafting. However, there were some mixed reviews disliking that the album lost much of the charm that was on ''Chasms''. The album was number 74 on the American ''Billboard'' 200, and was the project's first release to appear on the chart.
==Production==
The album was recorded during the winter of 2010–11 at Kalevankatu 45 in Helsinki, Finland, where frontman Alan Palomo was living for four weeks.〔 Palomo primarily wrote the album using a Voyager 8, a Korg MS-20 and a modified Commodore 64, and the first weeks of him making the album in Helsinki involved him learning this equipment. Palomo first saw the Voyager 8 in the music video for New Order's "The Perfect Kiss", saying that he was amazed by the appearance of it: "It's this bizarre, kaleidoscope interface with these knobs, and it's really physical to use, a strange kind of challenge." Palomo's songwriting on ''Era Extraña'' was influenced from his live performances more so than his previous projects, saying that he had never expected to perform his songs live before: "It was an influence; not so much something that limited me, but a feeling that lead to longer, more soundscape-driven songs. That was something that was undeniably in my mind: ‘what would I want to be playing every night for eight months?’ And the album evolved from there."〔
Unlike the last album, which involved creating "microloops" that involved building up one-bar samples into multiple bars that would make up a full song, Palomo said that in composing this album, he recorded a riff from a sound he made and tried to "keep that momentum up." On ''Era Extraña'', in order to develop ideas he was having while recording the record, it was a necessity to have a bit more control of the effects and instruments he was using for the album. Making the album helped him know how to create synth sounds and become a "gear geek", instead of relying on presets as he did with his previous works. A lot of planning came into having each song just "come out", reasoning that "the more tedious aspects of production do have the capacity to take the wind out of your sails, so you always have to navigate through that as quickly as you can before you start feeling burnt on the song, before you forget that initial spark that made you even want to write it in the first place."〔
