A new galaxy just dropped, and it’s called Rachika Nayar’s Heaven Come Crashing. Following the buzz of the last year’s promising debut album, Our Hands Against the Dust, the Brooklyn-based guitar virtuoso and multi-instrumentalist’s sophomore follow-up expands the celestial atmospheres discovered by M83 and Explosions In the Sky well over a decade ago through a brand new set of eyes where emotion is in motion at a constant centripetal force. The end result is one of the most sensory-entrancing examples of modern guitar art in which Nayar synthesizes her instrument with ambient colors and haloing vocal accents by songwriter Maria B.C. that blur the space between emotive rock, ambient electronic and trancelike dance music. True to its title, it’s an experience that hits from the heavens and overcomes this earth making everything feel infinite in the moment.
Highlights: “Death & Limerence”, “Heaven Come Crashing”, “Our Wretched Fate”
Rachika Nayar’s Heaven Come Crashing is available now on NNA Tapes.
