Mind Raft is the solo debut EP released by former Dirty Projectors member Angel Deradoorian (performing simply as "Deradoorian"). Its sound has been contrasted starkly with that of the Projectors' music.
Mike Powell of Pitchfork Media gave Mind Raft a 5.8 out of 10, saying, "the songs wander and churn when it feels like they could develop, and ultimately, it's a record that I'll never mind having on but probably rarely reach for." Scott Tavener of Exclaim! described the EP as "an auspicious, if incomplete, introduction."
