Biography

Dirty Projectors multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Angel Deradoorian made her solo debut as Deradoorian in 2009. Based in Brooklyn, NY, she joined the Dirty Projectors lineup in time for the tour in support of the album Rise Above (2007), the band's critically acclaimed chamber pop remake of Black Flag's classic full-length debut. She sang and played bass on the tour. While she hadn't been involved with the recording of any Dirty Projectors releases to date, Deradoorian was prominently featured on the band's full-length follow-up effort, Bitte Orca (2009), including as a vocalist on the album's lead single, "Stillness Is the Move." While fans were anxiously awaiting the official release of Bitte Orca, Deradoorian made her solo debut with Mind Raft (2009), a five-track EP released on Lovepump United Records. She was only 22 years old at the time, and was already something of an indie rock sensation thanks in part to her association with the Dirty Projectors, one of the hottest indie rock bands of the moment.
