Angel Deradoorian (born July 18, 1986), also known mononymously as Deradoorian, is a musician based in Los Angeles, California.[5] She is best known for her work with Dirty Projectors as full-time member from 2007 to 2012. She left to pursue a solo career.[6][7] In 2015 she released a solo studio album, The Expanding Flower Planet.[8]

Life and career

[edit]

Born and raised in Orangevale, California[9] and of Armenian descent,[10] Deradoorian first found an interest in music at the age of five, when she was taught violin and piano at the private school she attended.[7][10] Both her parents are artists and she has an older sister Arlene, who also tours with her performing solo material.[9][11] At the age of 16 she decided to leave school and pursue a career in music.[10][9] She moved to Brooklyn, joined Drive-thru Records band An Angle and then shortly after in 2007 she joined Dirty Projectors and played an important role in the recording of the album Bitte Orca.[9] In 2012, she moved to Los Angeles together with her then-boyfriend Avey Tare.[9][12]

Deradoorian's debut EP, Mind Raft, was released under her surname in 2009 by Lovepump United Records.[13] In 2009, she recorded a track with Vampire Weekend keyboardist Rostam Batmanglij and Ra Ra Riot vocalist Wes Miles on their Discovery album LP. The track is entitled "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend".[14] Animal Collective chose her to perform at the All Tomorrow's Parties festival that they curated in 2011.[15] In 2011, she released a split 7-inch with Albert McCloud containing a song by McCloud entitled "Planetarium 2010" and her own song "Marichka".[16] She was a member of Avey Tare's project, Slasher Flicks, along with ex-Ponytail drummer Jeremy Hyman, and released the album Enter the Slasher House in 2014.[17][18]

In 2015, Deradoorian released her debut solo studio album, The Expanding Flower Planet, on Anticon.[19] In 2017, she released an EP titled Eternal Recurrence, which mixes obscure and ambient landscapes.[20] Her second full-length solo album, Find the Sun, was released on September 18, 2020, by record label Anti-.[21]

In 2022, Deradoorian and Russian musician Kate NV formed the duo Decisive Pink, releasing the 2023 album Ticket to Fame on Fire Records.[22]
