It is a classic forty-minute set of inquisitive pop songs, blessed with a lightness of touch and a sharp focus that can’t help but charm the listener.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt conjures up some last, faint afterglow of the old belief that an electronic, programmed beat can smash itself - and you - into another, more egalitarian consciousness. It is a remarkable fact that this bold and open-hearted record is made by one person, working alone. Repeatedly reworking the songs until they were complete is a painstaking process that generated an energy and space where \u003cstrong\u003eAngel Deradoorian\u003c\/strong\u003e could indulge in the arcana of her artform.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e“I love the production more than the songwriting. [...] In fact, I don’t even feel like a songwriter at times, I feel like someone who is just inspired by so much music. And I want to try it all out! Like Lizzy Mercier Descloux, Mingus, or ESG and Silver Apples, or making weird krautrock and industrial music. I love dub, and Sly and Robbie. I love the productions of those records and the collective energies released by their creators in the studio. It’s just a weird thing to do it by yourself!”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEngaging with past musical glories helps deal with a major theme of this album; the awful nature of the world around us. \u003cstrong\u003eDeradoorian\u003c\/strong\u003e: “This album is partly about watching humanity erode. It’s about mental struggle, and it’s avowedly anti-capitalist. I mean; would we have all these identity labels we have to live by, if we didn’t live in a capitalist world?”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA lot of the lyrical content deals with the struggle to be a human being in the modern world, and the determination to keep on keeping on. But even when a darker mood informs a track, as with ‘Hell Island’ or ‘Digital Gravestone’, there are arrangements that seduce and hooks that ensnare. We are dealing with a world where there is too much chaos to cut through and where human connections are burnt dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eReady for Heaven\u003c\/em\u003e is an avowedly human response to the world we find ourselves in, and \u003cstrong\u003eDeradoorian\u003c\/strong\u003e uses every ounce of her reserves of wit and knowledge to create a source of comfort and solace for the listener.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fire Records","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":51309051117899,"sku":"R7030-0185","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP - Red","offer_id":51309051150667,"sku":"R7030-0227","price":23.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"LP - Gold","offer_id":51309051183435,"sku":"R7030-4485","price":23.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/7b39242c-01bb-aa94-3e7b-f6b7e1096192_d3b4be2c-7f2d-4eac-91e5-a14fe7fc6ba8.jpg?v=1752286868"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/collections\/deradoorian.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
