Neon Indian

"The Glitzy Hive"

There's just over a week left before chillwave graduate Neon Indian issues his VEGA INTL. Night School LP, but the electronic musician born Alan Palomo is giving us a lesson ahead of time via a stream of its gorgeous "The Glitzy Hive." You can let the track swarm your ear holes via an online stream.

The single goes full-on retro-electro, with plenty of DeBarge-style synths, faux flutes and clap-happy beats flooding the speakers. There's lots of party talk, slippery falsetto vocal runs and a rapturous round of gang vocals surging through the "Hive" too.

It's a surefire mover for anyone with a passing interest in '80s-geared R&B. You can stream the track below, while Mom + Pop Music put Neon Indian's VEGA INTL. Night School in session October 16.
