Critically-acclaimed, multi-platinum band Young the Giant have released the music video for "My Way" from ACT II: EXILE the second act of their fifth studio album, American Bollywood, which will be released on October 21 via AWAL/Jungle Youth Records - listen everywhere now. The album is being revealed in four acts, with two acts remaining: Battle and Denouement.
American Bollywood will be the first album in four years since Mirror Master and the first since leaving the major label system. Since the last album, three of the band members became fathers, and of course there was a global pandemic. The album tells the multi-generational saga of the American immigrant, and the origins, exiles, battles, and denouement of reclaiming our collective identity.
The band's singer, Sameer Gadhia, is the son of Indian immigrants, making him a unique voice in American rock music. "This is not just the story of an Indian-American caught in between two worlds," the band's Sameer Gadhia previously said, "it's also our universal search to find meaning in chaos."
The album was co-produced by John Hill (Santigold, M.I.A, Phantogram, Khalid) and the members of Young the Giant, and its lead single "Wake Up", released in June, is currently in the top 30 at Alternative Radio.
This fall, Young the Giant will take American Bollywood on the road with select marquee performances in famed major markets throughout October & November. Tickets and full details are available at here.
