Oct 21, 2015It goes down like a reimagined debut, because it introduces a newly carefree, naturally focused Neon Indian.
-
Oct 16, 2015A vibrant, glitchy, hook-laden celebration of nightlife.
-
Oct 16, 2015With its unfurled imaginativeness, Vega INTL. Night School is unimaginatively the album you would expect from Neon Indian by now--one that comfortably and sublimely manages to work inside and outside of the expectations set by their previous work.
-
Oct 15, 2015The production values are higher, and there’s even more of Palomo's queasy pitch-shifting, 16-bit synths, and disembodied samples--more of everything.
-
Oct 15, 2015As with every Neon Indian album, VEGA INTL Night School can feel chaotic, effusive, even overwhelming at times. But, much like the proverbial “bright lights” of the city which provide the inspiration for this LP, it's dazzling, too.
-
Oct 15, 2015Every element that made Neon Indian such a joy through the first two albums has been polished and improved upon to make a record that truly must be heard.

Q MagazineOct 27, 2015Amid the shiny licks, the hallmarks of his previous work remain. [Dec 2015, p.111]

Oct 16, 2015Vega Intl. Night School is just as immersive as Neon Indian's previous work and even more impressionistic, with a flamboyance that makes it a captivating standout within his own work as well as his contemporaries'.
-
Oct 16, 2015VEGA INTL. Night School is, for the most part, a more accessible and fascinating record than any of Paloma's output to date.
-
Oct 15, 2015Palomo has managed to group everything that catches his eye under one disco ball-laden roof, but Night School rarely feels overstuffed. It stays playful and casual, and its stakes often feel low as a result.
-
Oct 19, 2015Compared to the spontaneous hodgepodges of 2009’s Psychic Chasms or 2011’s Era Extraña, VEGA INTL. Night School is a far more intricately assembled product.
-
Oct 16, 2015Vega INTL. Night School feels like the work of an artist who's too busy having a good time to worry about the details, even if he knows tomorrow morning might be rough.
-
Oct 15, 2015Those seeking the mellower vibes of his earlier work may be slightly less enamoured with VEGA INTL. Night School, it’s undeniably a record that’s confident, intelligent and above all, fun.
-
Nov 5, 2015The 51-minute groove compilation emulates late-night VH1 on a heavy dose of synth and a sprinkle of Eighties pop.
-
Nov 5, 2015It’s a perfectly respectable, fun dance record, but I just wish its grooves came more naturally.
-
UncutOct 27, 2015The results are alluring warped but this groovy nostalgia is now a well-trodden path. [Dec 2015, p.76]

Oct 16, 2015There’s still plenty to recommend here, but you can’t help but feel that Neon Indian have a top-drawer electro pop record in them, if only they can trim the fat accordingly.
