Sunny Jains Wild Wild East encompasses myriad facets of Jains identity both as a first-generation South AsianAmerican and as a global musician, from his own familys immigration story to his eclectic musical upbringing. In recasting the immigrantsteeped in the courage to leave a familiar homeland for a new beginningas 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.
