Exclaim
An uncompromising record from an artist intent on mining further depths, one that finds the beauty in unease — and a sense of purpose in the darkness

PopMatters
There's humanity skating across Deradoorian's Find the Sun, a collection of barely-touched ideas that allows listeners to float in place
