Interview: Deradoorian

Angel Deradoorian, known simply as Deradoorian for her musical project, released her enchanting solo album The Expanding Flower Planet last August through Anticon. The release was a huge step for the former Dirty Projectors member. As her first full-length album, the writing and recording process saw Angel have to take a step back to work out her own musical identity before she could move forward.

The result is simply stunning. An album full of rich textures and wonderful rhythms that weave in-and-out through its 46-minute running time. And judging from some of the clips we've seen online, the songs translate beautifully to live performance - with help from her sister, Arlene. Soon Auckland audiences will be able to witness Deradoorian's songs bounce to life, as she is due to play a show on these shores next Thursday. In anticipation, UTR had a chat with the New York musician, who missed Megadeath concert to speak to us...
