Today I am joined by Zain Alam, who performs music under the name Humeysha. Humeysha are a difficult band to in down, Alam mixes shoegaze inspired guitar, booming 808s, and samples recorded during a year long stay in India to study the effects of the partition of 1947. The end result is like very little else out there. I've had the honor of playing drums in the live version of Humeysha for two years now, and I was delighted to have Alam on to talk about the origins of this project and the way it balances both anthropology and art. https://humeysha.bandcamp.com/

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.
Humeysha is a multilingual Indian experimental rock project fronted by Zain Alam. The group put out their self-titled debut album last October. In this episode, Zain talks about the diverse influences, the cultural dissonance, and the resulting reconciliation that gave birth to Humeysha.
