About this product
Our Hands Against the Dusk, the debut full-length from Brooklyn-based composer Rachika Nayar, is a kaleidoscopic built from textured guitar loops, shimmering synthesizer crescendos, lyrical piano and orchestral strings that have been digitally processed and threaded through multiple genres, including ambient, emo, electronic, and contemporary classical. The album's fluid but deeply felt throughline represents Nayar's navigation through the many musical and human communities she has been a part of as an Indian-American transwoman. Written over the past four years, Our Hands Against The Dusk winds through vivid personal moments - ecstasy, ambivalence, grief, and calm - via the composer's protean musical voice.1.

Touching upon post-rock, trance, ambient, and more to create a colossal sonic world all of it's own, Brooklyn-based electronic producer Rachika Nayar's second full-length is a dizzying plunge through the conflicted worlds of desire and grandiose fantasy. On Our Hands Against the Dusk, Nayar used her guitar as the primary source for sound design, mutating the instrument beyond recognition through layers of digital processing. Heaven Come Crashing retains the mangled guitar stylings, but expands the color palette with rapturous supersaw harmonies, M1 piano stabs, and glimpses of Amen breaks. Despite the manifold influences entering the frame, at it's heart, a throughline remains a breakneck exploration of desperate passion-romantic, nocturnal, and reckless in it's velocity and emotional abandon.---InchFantasy is scenario, but a scenario in bits and pieces-always very brief, just a glimmer of the narrative of desire. What's glimpsed is very sharply contoured, very brightly lit, but all of a sudden it's gone a body I catch sight of in a car as it goes round a bend, before it plunges into the shadowsInch1.
