Our Hands Against the Dusk, the debut full-length from Brooklyn-based composer Rachika Nayar, is a kaleidoscopic release built from textured guitar loops, shimmering synthesizer crescendos, lyrical piano and orchestral strings that have been digitally processed and threaded through multiple genres, including ambient, emo, electronic, and contemporary classical. The album’s fluid but deeply felt throughline represents Nayar’s navigation through the many musical and human communities she has been a part of as an Indian-American transwoman. Written over the past four years, Our Hands Against The Dusk winds through vivid personal moments -- ecstasy, ambivalence, grief, and calm -- via the composer’s protean musical voice.
