The Verge's Terrence O'Brien reviews Heaven Come Crashing, the new album from experimental guitarist Rachika Nayar, praising it as an emotionally intense, largely instrumental work that explores desperate romantic longing while also critiquing its own reckless passion. He notes the record marks a shift from Nayar's percussion-free debut, Our Hands Against The Dusk, incorporating sparse but striking drum moments, including an unexpected drum and bass explosion on the title track.

Musically, the album is built around heavily processed guitar, atmospheric drones and occasional trance-influenced chords rather than lyrics, with vocalist Maria BC providing the only vocal contributions on the title track and closer "Our Wretched Fate". Track titles such as "Death and Limerence" and the bookending pair "Our Wretched Fantasy" and "Our Wretched Fate" underline the album's thematic focus on obsessive rather than fulfilling love. Heaven Come Crashing is out now on Bandcamp and major streaming platforms including Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube Music, Qobuz and Deezer.
