On today's show, I talk to musician Angel Deradoorian. Originally from California, Angel was a member of the popular indie rock band Dirty Projectors, joining before the Rise Above tour. Angel was part of the band for their breakout album Bitte Orca, and since leaving the group, has recorded vocals for a number of projects, been part of Animal Collective member Avey Tare's band Slasher Flicks, and her first album The Expanding Flower Planet comes out August 21 on Anticon Records.This is the website for Beginnings, subscribe on iTunes, follow me on Twitter.
