Vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, and sonic visionary Angel Deradoorian has never shied away from testing aural and conceptual boundaries in her work. On her 2015 album The Expanding Flower Planet, she led listeners through a kaleidoscopic journey that explored new rhythmic ideas culled from ancient traditions. The stark style of her latest album, Eternal Recurrence, is unlike anything she’s ever recorded and features Deradoorian’s riveting vocals commingling with a handful of instruments. Her music testifies to the strengths of an artist who finds new depths by means of a creative process driven entirely by instinct.
