An Electronic Awakening
Angel Deradoorian invites her listeners on another inner journey with her third studio album, Ready for Heaven, released on May 9, 2025 via Fire Records. The record blends layers of experimental electronic sound, alternative pop, and psychedelia. This time, Deradoorian speaks not through sound, but through silence, through thought, through the sky itself.
The Heart of the Album: Decay, Acceptance, and Transformation
Deradoorian describes the creation process as “watching the erosion of humanity and trying to stay alive despite it.” Ready for Heaven stands as a conscious stance against the speed of the modern world — filled with lyrics that question systems, identity, and mental health. Each track moves between personal awareness and collective inquiry.
“This is not the end, but the beginning of a different kind of silence.” — Deradoorian
Highlight Tracks
“Storm In My Brain” — The opening track explodes with an intense electronic pulse, translating mental chaos into sound. Like a city filled with echoes of thought.
“Digital Gravestone” — A cold yet emotional reminder of the identities lost in the digital age.
“No No Yes Yes” — Both danceable and contemplative; it merges electronic minimalism with the contradictions of human nature.
“Hell Island” — A slow, melancholic meditation closing the record, as if you’re listening to the world’s tired breath.
Sound World and Production
The album was entirely self-produced by Deradoorian. Its sound design is built from sharp synth transitions, analog effects, and a nearly ceremonial sense of rhythm. The electronic explosions in “Storm In My Brain” and the hypnotic melodies of “Golden Teachers” create a universe that feels both contrasting and cohesive.
Here, Deradoorian builds a language that is both introspective and universal — a personal manifesto, yet also a lament for the exhaustion of our age.
IndieBird Perspective
Ready for Heaven is more than an album; it’s an emotional topography. Deradoorian captures not only the world she observes but also the echoes resonating within her. The record feels like a form of purification — dark yet hopeful, distant yet familiar.
This is an album that gains its full meaning when listened to through headphones in the quiet of the night. Because Ready for Heaven is born precisely from that silence — music for keeping your feet on the ground while gazing at the sky, and for finding your own reflection in that upward glance.
