Alan Palomo, aka Neon Indian has been a staple in the synth scene since 2009. The release of his seminal “Psychic Chasms” helped solidify the chillwave sound, and led to the “Summer of Chillwave.” But, before Palomo was Neon Indian, he was in a little 4 piece band called Ghost Hustler around 2007.

Although Palomo eventually moved on and has related his relative distaste for some of this early work, (specifically the gaudiness of  “Someone Else’s Ride” below) Ghost Hustler lives on like a time capsule though, a perfect example of a prototype of an entire emerging subgenre of synth.
