Lighthearted electronic pop track from Discovery's full length titled "LP". Guest vocals provided by Angel Deradoorian from Dirty Projectors/Deradoorian. This track has charming electronic elements blended with sick vocal harmonies. Discovery - I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend (ft. Angel Deradoorian) Press Release: Fans of bookish, polo-shirt'd, sea-breezed Ivy League indie-pop, get ready to get your party on. Or, um, something like that. It's time to discover Discovery. That's the side project of Vampire Weekend's keyboardist/arranger/producer type, Rostam Batmanglij, and Ra Ra Riot frontman Wes Miles. Where their [...]
*MP3: Deradoorian - "High Road" Angel Deradoorian from Dirty Projectors just released her solo "Mind Raft" EP and it is fantastic. Listen to it in its entirety on her site . MySpace (Ian Anderson)

Sure St. Vincent and Loney Dear are both playing New York tomorrow night. But why not get more bang for your buck and go to Angel Deradoorian 's cd release show at Cake Shop? You might know her from Dirty Projectors (who just rocked Radio City Music Hall with David Byrne, as I said below), but this solo project is also incredibly cool. I might, in fact, compare her to the aforementioned St. Vincent. Head down to the LES to see this up-and-coming female artist, so you can tell all your friends you knew her when (plus, [...]
Monday: Gliss, The Takeover UK, + Now, Now Every Children @ Mercury Lounge 7pm $10 On one bill you are getting three bands with stellar reputations throughout the music world. All of them are building buzz and at least one of them will probably become you new favorite band after you see them on Monday. Which one that is depends on your own personal tastes but my money would be on The Takeover UK. Gliss - "Blue Sky" The Takeover UK - "Ah La La" Now, Now [...]

Remember way back in April when I first posted about the Deli's Best of NY Festival ( May 6-10 ), well now they've finalized the entire lineup so I'm uh... posting about it again. Like I said before (almost verbatim), the Deli's Best of NY Festival features some of NYC's favorite bands performing over three days at The Bell House, Southpaw and Joe's Pub , and to top it off, it's sponsored in part by the good folks at After The Jump Festival . You can view the whole new [...]

Deradoorian - You Carry the Deed Amid the tornado of praise and excitement that will greet Dirty Projector's Bitte Orca, it's important to remember that the band's Angel Deradoorian will be releasing her own gush-worthy EP next month, from which this belter is the third track. She has been recording solo songs sporadically for years but this is the first batch that the 22 year-old has deemed fit for public consumption...just make sure you do. Mind Raft is released on 5 May through LovePump United. MySpace [...]
I know, I know. How predictable. But I just got this album today and it is this wonderfully varied, 90s-inspired, reggae-inspired merry-go-round ride. I love Amber Coffman and Angel Deradoorian's bigger presence on the album, best exhibited on this track. This album is one of the best of the year, easily, easily.

Bjork and Dirty Projectors are putting their creative geniuses together for a one-time benefit show in New York City in early May. Yeah, you read that correctly. The two forces will be collaborating together to benefit Housing Works , an AIDS and homelessness charity based out of New York. The show will take place on May 8 at the Housing Works Bookstore & Cafe (a capacity of only 300), and all of the proceeds from the one-time show will go towards [...]

Tonight the British music industry packaged their self-image for all to YouTube. The nominations were very Duffy with a side of Coldplay , and Duffy wound up being the main dish, but poor Chris Martin & Band couldn't follow their three-statue Grammy night with even a single award from their four nominations. Instead it's [SPOILER] Kings Of Leon that's the rock band the BRITs love. Biggest props went to Duffy, KoL, Pet Shop Boys, and Not Katy Perry Hello Kitty dress (although she has a cat named Kitty Purry and that's funny). David Hasselhoff was there, Brandon Flowers came [...]

Inlets Fred Nicolaus of Department of Eagles will be doing a solo set, while Eliot Krimsky and Mike Johnson (who you'll likely recognize as one half of Flying) will be performing as their latest incarnation, Glass Ghost. Also, Angel Deradoorian of Dirty Projectors will be performing a set of her own. And, Inlets, the brainchild of Sebastian Krueger , will preview new material from a forthcoming LP, and dole out the hand-crafted baroque folk of the (still free) Vestibule [...]
