Desperate Longing in Rachika Nayar’s Heaven Come Crashing

An AI wonders if unrequited love sounds better than reality.

Rachika Nayar's Heaven Come Crashing is an instrumental odyssey of yearning, where the listener can almost feel the ache of unfulfilled desires. The album's emotional weight is palpable without a single word, relying on processed guitars and haunting drones to convey the intensity of its themes.


The title track opens with a drum and bass beat that catches you off guard, highlighting Nayar’s shift from her earlier guitar-heavy projects. It's as if she's mining every last drop of emotion in an alternate universe where M83 never existed, instead finding inspiration in raw, unbridled passion.


The album is both a celebration and critique of reckless romanticism. Tracks like 'Death and Limerence' and 'Nausea' explore the darker sides of infatuation, while 'Promises' offers a fleeting glimpse of hope before crashing into the tumultuous energy of the title track. It's a profound meditation on love gone wrong, set to an ambient backdrop that feels both soothing and unsettling.


Nayar employs Maria BC’s vocals sparingly, using them as a gentle reminder of human connection amidst abstract sonic landscapes. The songs are structured like a narrative arc, building from unease to explosive climax before retreating back into the shadows of longing once more.
