Rachika Nayar og Nina Keith forener deres krafter som komponister, producere og multiinstrumentalister på den selvbetitlede debut af deres nye fællesprojekt Disiniblud. De to kunstnere fandt hinanden for fem år siden, som spejlbilleder eller to søstre der genfinder hinanden efter et liv som adskilte. Rachika og Nina mødtes i Brooklyns Maria Hernandez Park efter af have fangirlet hinandens musik online. De fandt hurtigt ligheder i oplevelsen som lesbisk post-lockdown i langdistance, tilknytning til buddhistiske og hinduistiske filosofier og en delt gymnasiekærlighed til soundtracket til Eternal Sunshine. Siden da har de fundet hinanden på et dybere niveau og i et delt eksistentielt verdensbillede.
Båndet mellem dem – som Rachika beskriver, kommer fra et ”indre barns søsterskab” – er hjertet af deres eventyragtige selvtitlede LP, ude 18. juli. Deres selvbeskrevne ”ordløse samtaler” på albummet omhandler temaer som dødelighed, genopfindelse gennem destruktion og sublimering af brudte historier til musik – hvilket alt sammen resulterer i et værk der antyder, at gennemgribende transformation kan komme fra at omfavne gamle sår med barnlig undren.
Nachika Nayar og Nina Keith mødes om komplementære men tilsyneladende forskellige musikalske baggrunde. På hendes breakout LP Heaven Come Crashing adskiller Nayar sig fra sine sædvanlige ambiente guitar til fordel for maksimalistiske synths, sub-bass og enkelte Amen kastet ind. Hendes distinkte fusion af post-rock og elektronica resulterede i udnævnelsen som Pitchfork’s Best New Music, adskillige Best of the Year lister (The New York Times, Stereogum, Fader, GQ, Bandcamp mm) og gav hende et opvarmningsgig for M83.
Keith er bedst kendt for hendes selvtrænede tilgang til komposition, som ses på hendes 2019 debut MARANASATI 19111 og dens delikate blanding af cello, klaver, klarinet og fløjte, brugt til at udforske en personlig historie markeret af fællesskabstragedie og paranormale hændelser. Hun udvider ind i nye territorier på senere udgivelser, som singlen ”Come Back Different” featuring Julie Byrne, ved at inkorporere modulære synths og indviklede vokalarrangementer med hjælp fra forskellige samarbejdspartnere.
Deres kombinerede kunstneristiske styrker ophøjer hinanden på Disiniblud.

Rachika Nayar and Nina Keith join forces as composers, producers, and multi-instrumentalists on the self-titled debut of their new collaborative project Disiniblud. The two artists were first drawn to one another five years ago like mirror images or two sisters reuniting after a lifetime of separation. Rachika and Nina met in Brooklyn's two-block–by–two-block Maria Hernandez Park after fan-girling each other’s music online. Dishing about messy post-lockdown long-distance lesbianism, heartfelt investments in Buddhist and Hindu philosophies, and a shared high-school love of the Eternal Sunshine OST, the two found their surface similarities gesturing toward a deeper shared existential worldview.
This kinship—which Rachika describes originating from some “inner-child sisterhood place”—is the heart of their fairytale-like self-titled LP, due out July 18 via Smugglers Way. The two’s self-described “wordless conversation,” the album orbits such themes as mortality, reinvention through destruction, and sublimating fractured histories into music—all resulting in a work that suggests sweeping transformation can come from embracing old wounds with childlike wonder.
Rachika Nayar and Nina Keith meet on complementary but seemingly disparate musical grounds. On her 2022 breakout LP Heaven Come Crashing, Nayar departed from her usual ambient guitar in favor of maximalist synths, sub-bass, and flickers of Amen breaks. Her distinct fusion of post-rock and electronica received Pitchfork's Best New Music designation, landed on several best of the year lists (The New York Times, Stereogum, Fader, GQ, Bandcamp, etc), and earned her an opening slot on tour with M83.
Keith, meanwhile, is best known for her self-trained approach to composition, as evident on her 2019 debut MARANASATI 19111 and its delicate medley of cello, piano, clarinet, and flute, used to explore a personal history marked by community tragedy and paranormal incidents. She expands into new territories on recent releases, like the single “Come Back Different” featuring Julie Byrne, by incorporating modular synths and intricate vocal arrangements with the help of various collaborators.
Their combined artistic strengths exalt together on Disiniblud.
