Rachika Nayar is a Brooklyn-based guitarist, composer and producer. Where her critically acclaimed debut record saw the artist mutating guitar compositions into layers and layers of digitally processed sound, most recently she made the ‘Best of 2022’ lists with a grand plunge into electronic maximalism. Navigating the leftfield territory she describes as ‘a luminescent space between 5 a.m. warehouse raves and urban freeways’, Nayar’s recent tracks are ridden with M1 piano stabs, synthesizer supersaws and glimpses of Amen breaks. As her sophomore album title ‘Heaven Come Crashing’ so perfectly suggests, a live performance by Rachika Nayar is a violently poetic affair.
