  • Description

    Sunny Jain's 'Wild Wild East' encompasses myriad facets of Jain's identity both as a first-generation South Asian–American and as a global musician, from his own family's immigration story to his eclectic musical upbringing. In recasting the immigrant - steeped in the courage to leave a familiar homeland for a new beginning - as the modern-day cowboy and cowgirl, Jain sources musical inspiration from the scores of Bollywood classics and Spaghetti Westerns, Indian folk traditions, jazz improvisation, and rollicking psychedelic and surf guitar styles. 'Wild Wild East' is an album rooted in the contemporary American soundscape, singing in a new voice, "I am large, I contain multitudes."
