Quirky, creative, clever, eclectic, lo-fi experimental pop by the American singer, composer and multi-instrumentalist and former Dirty Projectors member Angel Deradoorian, with a new LP about the erosion of humanity, and mental struggles in the ongoing degrading age of destructive capitalism. It’s also in part inspired by William Morris’ argument that technological change does not necessarily mean progress, specifically this quote: “I believe the multiplication of machinery will just multiply machinery.” Deradoorian made the all music entirely on her own, and the inventive, syncopated rhythms of analogue and electronica instruments, as well as use of the voice, such on as past Song of the Day Any Other World, or on the dark, striking, foreboding of Digital Gravestone, are both testament to her love of the production process as much as the writing. Other standouts include itchy opener Storm In My Brain, the catchy beat and bass of clever indecision on No No Yes Yes, the serene, beautiful melancholy slowness of Set Me Free, the clever rhythmic piano of Golden Teachers, and closer the restless saxophone squeaks and trills of Hell Island. Dystopian with originality and a daring DIY difference, all summoning something spookily superb. Out on Fire Records.
