FROM THE NEWS NEST: Neon Indian Record Store Day Release and Tour Dates

March 06. 2012 | By Collin Welbon

On Record Store Day, Saturday, April 21, Neon Indian is exclusively releasing 500 pressings of the single, “Hex Girlfriend,” from the 2011 album Era Extraña as a 10”. While the A-side contains the album version, the B-side of the 10” vinyl is a remix of “Hex Girlfriend” by Twin Shadow. For all you gramophiles out there, 200 copies will be pressed on translucent coke bottle green vinyl and have an opaque blue swirl – sounds delectable.
