It Felt So Real In My Head

Deradoorian “Saturnine Night”

“Saturnine Night” is like one of the chugging quasi-motorik Thee Oh Sees numbers remade with goth aesthetics, with Angel Deradoorian singing about “innocence in my death” and “purifying the shadow of the soul” through heavy reverb. The dark vibe and the insistent groove suits Deradoodian well, allowing her room to embrace the less overtly pretty aspects of her singing voice, in as much as her voice is naturally musical and gorgeous. Letting the rhythm section carry the structure also gives her space to use her guitar mainly for atmosphere, pulling this closer to her more ambient works than the more folky side of her catalog.
