Disiniblud Release New Single “Give-upping (ft. Julianna Barwick)”
28th May 2025
Disiniblud, the new collaboration between the composers and multi-instrumentalists Rachika Nayar and Nina Keith, will release their self-titled debut album on July 18 via Domino’s Smugglers Way, and today the duo shares new single “Give-upping (ft. Julianna Barwick).” The song taps into a longheld Buddhist truth of clinging to past experiences as a source of one's own suffering. Lush with buoyant piano melodies, Barwick's fluttering vocals beckon to the listener from the other side of an “infinite knowingness space”- “If you could give up / Something good could happen / For once if you let it.”
Today Disiniblud also announce their North American and European fall tour, including headlining dates in Brooklyn, DC, Chicago, Paris, and Berlin, as well as previously announced festival appearances at Philadelphia’s Making Time and Pitchfork London. Next month, New York can catch the duo’s live show at the Emerging Music Festival in Bryant Park on June 21.

Album | 18th July 2025
Disiniblud, the thrilling new collaborative album project from the composers/producers/multi-instrumentalists Rachika Nayar and Nina Keith.
Rachika and Nina 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 self-trained approach to composition, as evident on her 2019 debut MARANASATI 19111 and its delicate medley of cello, piano, clarinet, and flute, used to explore a personal history marked by community tragedy and paranormal incidents.
On Disiniblud, the two’s self-described “wordless conversation,” orbits such themes as mortality, reinvention through destruction, and sublimating fractured histories into music—all resulting in a work that suggests sweeping transformation can come from embracing old wounds with childlike wonder. Nina envisions this as she and Rachika'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.
Disiniblud features guest appearances from Julianna Barwick, Tujiko Noriko, Cassandra Croft, ASPIDISTRAFLY, Katie Dey, June McDoom and Ponytail's Willy Siegel.
