Before every budding indie artist convinced themselves they were natural born surfers, there used to be a time when folks just enjoyed sitting around. This fall, one of chillwave’s originators, Neon Indian, will look to expand on the successes of 2009′s Psychic Chasms when they dish out their sophomore LP. A title, release date, and tracklist are still forthcoming, but Gorilla Vs. Bear points to “Heart: Attack”, the first of a “three-part instrumental movement” that appears on the new record. The song’s video, which was directed by Austin filmmaker Sean Lopez, can be viewed above.

Ahead of the album, Neon Indian will hit the road for a summer of touring. Find all confirmed tour dates below.
