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. It 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\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt 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. “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\u003cp\u003eEngaging with past musical glories helps deal with a major theme of this album; the awful nature of the world around us. Deradoorian: “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\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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe are dealing with a world where there is too much chaos to cut through and where human connections are burnt dry. ‘\u003cem\u003eReady for Heaven\u003c\/em\u003e’ is an avowedly human response to the world we find ourselves in, and Deradoorian uses every ounce of her reserves of wit and knowledge to create a source of comfort and solace for the listener.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eFor fans of:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e Jenny Hval, Jockstrap, St Vincent, Kate Bush, ESG, Broadcast, Lizzy Mercier Descloux, Arthur Russell, The Knife, Talking Heads.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fire Records","offers":[{"title":"LP - Deep Red Vinyl","offer_id":54240172048729,"sku":"SDZ-09231","price":17.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/3455\/0945\/files\/Deradoorian_-_Ready_For_Heaven_-_2025.jpg?v=1740569273","url":"https:\/\/spindizzyrecords.com\/products\/deradoorian-ready-for-heaven","provider":"Spindizzy Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
