Era Extraña

Era Extraña is the second studio album by American electronic music band Neon Indian. It was released on September 7, 2011, by Static Tongues and Mom + Pop Music. The recording took place between the winter of 2010 and 2011 during frontman Alan Palomo's visit to Finland. Containing influences and elements of psychedelic pop, shoegaze, and new wave, the album has the same summery sound as the band's debut studio album, Psychic Chasms, but with a darker and more serious tone. Era Extraña upon release received positive reviews from critics, a number of whom called it more focused, tight, and cohesive than Psychic Chasms, while some praising its songcraft. However, some mixed reviews noted that on this album, Neon Indian lost much of the charm that was apparent on Psychic Chasms. The album peaked at number 74 on the US Billboard 200, the band's first release to appear on the chart. The band toured North America from December 2011 to May 2012 to promote Era Extraña.
