 s Wild Wild East 2026 Sunny Jain Wild Wild East Behind its idealism\, the 
 American myth of westward expansion has always been an irony-caked parable
  about what happens when you try to escape the known for the pursuit of ne
 w beginnings. The traits we think we’ve spotted in the cowboy — braver
 y\, boldness\, a willingness to sacrifice the known for the sake of the be
 tter — have always been suspect. But the courage to leave behind a homel
 and and head west\, to boldly step into a new place and declare it home\, 
 to survey the scene and try to find your place in it? That’s still aroun
 d. “The idea of the American cowboy is this romanticized idea that’s j
 ust false\,” Sunny Jain says plainly. “The immigrant is the current-da
 y cowboy or cowgirl.” This dynamic — of interrogating American myths t
 o make them fit the reality of our world\, of both questioning and rhapsod
 izing the notion of identity in a contingent world — is at the heart of 
 Wild Wild East \, the new album from the Brooklyn-based bandleader\, compo
 ser\, dhol player\, and drummer. It’s also at the heart of his story —
  as the son of immigrants from India\, as a kid from Rochester raised on t
 he Cure and prog rock\, as a fluid jazz drummer on his own and as a party-
 starter with Red Baraat\, as an American of color. Accordingly\, his view 
 is broad enough to take in shuddering walls of post-rock guitar\, howling 
 tenor sax\, the persistent thump of Indian brass band music\, rhythms from
  Punjab and southern Pakistan\, film soundtracks from around the world\, a
 nd swaggering West Coast rap. But like Jain himself\, Wild Wild East can
 ’t be reduced to a cosmopolitan series of signifiers taking their turn i
 n the spotlight. The ease with which Jain braids his sound highlights the 
 interconnectedness of global styles — and that sense of connection\n\nht
