Mac Demarco has joined Neon Indian‘s Alan Palomo on his funky new single ‘Nudista Mundial ’89’. Check it out below.
Produced by Palomo, the coastal groove track features Demarco on backing vocals while the two sing about visiting a nude beach in Ibiza. This is Palomo’s first song released under his real name, outside of Neon Indian.
“While working on a few tunes, I was trying to get a hold of this certain piano,” said Palomo. “My keyboard player told me Mac had one at his studio so I hit him up. And on one breezy day in May, we sang a duet about two guys going to a nude beach together in Ibiza.”
The eccentric animated video for the song takes inspiration from the 1980s adult video game Leisure Suit Larry. It features a pixelated version of Demarco and Palomo on a quest to get to a nude beach in Ibiza.
‘Nudista Mundial ’89’ follows Neon Indian’s 2019 single ‘Toyota Man’, a pro-immigrant song which was the first time Palomo’s sung fully in Spanish. Neon Indian’s most recent LP was 2015’s ‘Vega Intl. Night School’. Along with the release of the track, Palomo also announced a handful of DJ set dates. Check them out below.
