Father Murphy are a powerful sonic force comprising Rev. Freddie Murphy (vocals, guitar) and Chiara Lee (vocals, keyboards, percussions). Born nearby Venice, Northern Italy, Father Murphy, with three albums and a plethora of EP’s and limited releases, have over the years become one of the most mysterious and enigmatic musical entities coming out of Italy, part of the community that Simon Reynolds called the new "Italian Occult Psychedelia”.

They are back again, and this time their sermon is delivered in an even more bewildering manner. Pain Is On Our Side Now, due for release on Aagoo Records/Boring Machines, is straddled across two single-sided 10"'s, each containing two movements and intended to be played simultaneously - or maybe not. Father Murphy are not the types to preach the rights and wrongs of participating in their immersive ceremony

For those who haven’t yet delved into Father Murphy's fold, prepare yourself for a brisk stroll on the wild side, where tortured vocals, magmatic drones, sudden outbursts of the blackest chamber music and tangential bursts of childlike melodies find themselves contentedly holding hands.
 
Recorded in a Medieval castle at Itri (the same extraordinary place where Zola Jesus and Gary War have recorded), the EP is a concept of sorts, tackling the many virtues of failure, and the chances we may or may not choose to take at all times, every day.

Pain Is On Our Side Now is bolstered by a cast of characters comprising of, amongst others, Gowns' Ezra Buchla, who sings on 'They Will All Fail You', as well as Italian occult Psych master Gianni Giublena Rosacroce who provides clarinet on 'Let The Wrong Rise With You', with Greg Saunier from Deerhoof on mixing and mastering duties.

Father Murphy keep wandering off the beaten path in to the undocumented dark, following their personal, almost incommunicable quest for truth and meaning – one foot in the grave, or tongues firmly planted in their cheeks? It is difficult to interpret. You decide.

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.”
