CultureRachika Nayar’s Heaven Come Crashing is an instrumental epic of desperate longing

Rachika Nayar’s Heaven Come Crashing is presented as an instrumental epic shaped by desperate longing. Two minutes and thirty seconds into its title track, an enormous drum-and-bass beat suddenly arrives. The shift can catch listeners off guard, especially fans of her debut, Our Hands Against The Dusk. That earlier album contains no percussion at all. The new record is almost entirely built around this strikingly different sonic approach.
