Deradoorian 'Marichka'

Bitte Orca was the album which first introduced me to Dirty Projectors. I became obsessed. Their intriguing, idiosyncratic style fused odd time signatures with fluttering harmonies. I liked it because it was so novel, so peerless.

A couple of years ago, under her apt moniker, 'Deradoorian', their introverted multi-instrumentalist/vocalist Angel Deradoorian emerged into the limelight as a solo artist. This year she steps out once again. 'Marichka' is less complex than most of TDPs' work, but just as compelling. It has a kinda primal, psychedelic semblance about it. Out on 7" already, it's a split release with Albert Mccloud (artwork below). The single was co-produced by Avey Tare of Animal Collective (whose ATP festival at Butlin's she plays this May).

Stream it on Pitchfork.
