Currently in the midst of their North American headline tour, Disiniblud—the new duo project of Los Angeles-based artists Rachika Nayar and Nina Keith—announce a new remix EP following their critically acclaimed debut album, due out December 5th via Smugglers Way/Domino. Alongside the announcement, they are sharing a remix of "Blue Rags, Raging Wind" from New York City pianist and composer Kelly Moran alongside a live version of "Traces in the Window" accompanied by a video recorded at their recent New York Show. The EP also includes the previously released remix from Deafheaven's Kerry McCoy, plus unreleased reworks from Baths, Cis Angel (a new alias of Nina Keith), The Field, and Daedelus.
Kelly Moran brings her signature imprint of attuned piano work and textural electronic composition to “Blue Rags, Raging Wind,” reimagining it as something both meditative and kinetic. On the remix, Kelly shares: "I'm honored to share my remix for Disiniblud as a longtime fan of Rachika and Nina's music. I was working on this track earlier this year while obsessing over Koreless's immaculate production on FKA Twigs' album Eusexua, which inspired me to play around with chopping up the vocal samples in Disniblud's track to create a glitchy and propulsive pattern. There are so many beautiful, rich textures in Disiniblud's music and I wanted to stretch them out for the start of the track to allow the listener to sink into an oceanic abyss of ambience that eventually transmutes into pulsating, beautiful chaos."

Disiniblud are currently performing on the North American leg of their headline tour, which continues tonight in Portland with stops to follow in Seattle and San Francisco before concluding with a hometown show in Los Angeles. Following the North American run, Disiniblud will head overseas for a string of UK and EU dates, kicking off in November at Pitchfork Music Festival London on November 5th at EartH Theatre. The full upcoming tour routing can be found below.
Disiniblud's self-titled debut album released to widespread critical acclaim, with notable praise from DJ Mag, MOJO, Loud & Quiet, AllMusic, Hearing Things, Nina Protocol, Pitchfork, Stereogum, The FADER, NPR Music, and many others. Across the album's 11 tracks, the two LA-based artists meet on complementary but seemingly disparate musical grounds.
On her 2022 breakout LP Heaven Come Crashing, Rachika 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 earned her accolades as Pitchfork's Best New Music, on several best of the year lists (The New York Times, Stereogum, Fader, GQ, Bandcamp, etc), and as the opening act on tour with M83.
Nina, meanwhile, is best known for her DIY approach to neoclassical music, as evident on her 2019 debut MARANASATI 19111 (receiving praise from Gorilla vs Bear, Bandcamp, Line Of Best Fit, Gold Flake Paint etc). Its delicate medley of piano, flute, voice and modular synth used to explore a personal history marked by community tragedy and paranormal incidents. She expands into new territories on her forthcoming work incorporating her sound installation work (an eight foot tall rain apparatus) and intricate vocal arrangements sung by collaborators like Julie Byrne, Barrie and Qur'an Shaheed. Their combined artistic strengths exalt together on Disiniblud.
Disiniblud's practice emphasizes comfort and trust before engaging in childlike play—a state of being that sheds bounded self-consciousness in favor of open imagination. Rachika envisions this as she and Nina's younger selves packing a satchel, holding hands, and daring one another to run away into a place of "wounds and wonder," only to discover an unforeseeable magic in an amalgam of post-rock, glitchy indie electronica, ambient, and pop genres in this co-created realm.
