PODCAST: Zain Alam

December 31, 2017 by SJPC in Podcasts

2017 is finally over, and to celebrate I had musician Zain Alam come over for the final Humor and the Abject podcast of the year. Zain is the mind behind the brilliant musical project Humeysha, which Noisey describes as “a marvelously mellow kind of psych-pop, clean and sparkly like a diamond baguette, dappled with Bollywood-toned lilts.” We talked about the band and its unique visual identity, how his time in India changed his life, odd time signatures, the South Asian diaspora, his faith in Islam, attending Harvard, musical inclination skipping a generation, racial profiling, and new music. We’re sponsored exclusively this exclusively by Minions. Buy Humeysha’s first album on Bandcamp, baby.
