Rachika Nayar and Nina Keith Join Forces as Disiniblud: A Journey into the Depths of Sound
In an exhilarating fusion of creativity, Brooklyn’s own Rachika Nayar and Philadelphia’s multi-talented Nina Keith have formed the dynamic duo Disiniblud, a collaboration that promises to stretch the boundaries of experimental music. On July 18, they will unveil their self-titled debut album through Smugglers Way, with two tantalizing singles – “It’s Change” featuring an impressive roster of guests including Willy Siegel, Katie Dey, and Julianna Barwick, and “Blue Rags, Raging Wind” featuring Amigone, already generating buzz.
Nayar and Keith’s connection began like a plotline from an indie film: four years ago, they serendipitously crossed paths in a park after enthusiastically voicing mutual admiration for each other’s work online. It didn’t take long for them to realize they shared a unique musical chemistry, setting the stage for Disiniblud, a project they describe as a “wordless conversation” exploring themes of mortality, reinvention, and the perpetual cycle of childlike wonder.
In a candid statement reflecting on the duo’s intentions, Nayar expressed, "It’s not about healing and moving past the darkness," while Keith elaborated: "It’s taking both with you in the satchel and carrying it with you everywhere you go. That’s the only way you can really metabolize it."
With their debut album, Disiniblud, they aim to encapsulate this philosophy through an eclectic blend of genres and styles. Joining forces with an impressive lineup of collaborators such as Cassandra Croft, June McDoom, Aspidistrafly, and Noriko Tujiko, this record promises to provide a kaleidoscopic auditory experience.
