For all the times where Alpers’ voice is buoyant atop her vast palette of sound, there are others where it’s isolated, left floating alone, unguided. The sparse ‘And The Earth Knew Absence’ falls after the drum machine-driven ‘Intergalactic Solitude’, beginning with the hushed, ‘I lost my friend today/I can feel his presence all around’. It’s playful for the most part, but the kitschy keyboard veneer gives way to a poignant sense of storytelling. It’s a well-paced and fascinated dawdle through quaint and quiet sounds, filled with bright Casio keyboards gazing out at a carpet of glow-in-the-dark stars. You get the impression that even a cup of tea for her has the inbuilt soundtrack of Isolation Loops’ space odysseys and whimsical musings. On her debut, lyrically, Alpers tends towards the everyday and the simple to charming effects. They’re obviously all hers, hand woven through and through. Her pop songs are wrapped up snug in a quilt of digital and analogue patches. “A wonderful surprise… Though Bachelorette has a clear lineage with Dunedin bands such as Look Blue Go Purple and The Clean, her modern style is thoroughly her creation.” – THE WEEKEND AUSTRALIAN **** four starsīachelorette – New Zealand’s Annabel Alpers – seems like the private type.

MIST031 MY ELECTRIC FAMILY by BACHELORETTEīachelorette’s Annabel Alpers has a family of synthesizers, keyboards and computers that beam to us all the way from New Zealand. “There’s still no one around that does retro-futuristic electro-pop quite as well as Bachelorette” – ROSE QUARTZ We are guided through the darkness of infinite space by Bachelorette’s luminescent lead vocal. Recorded around the world and mixed with Nicholas Vernhes at Rare Book Room (Animal Collective, Baby Dee, Dirty Projectors, et cetera) in Brooklyn, the tracks of Bachelorette are built on buzzing synth grooves, folky guitar strums, and the occasional snap of drums and percussion ‒ aided and abetted by a whimsical, searching sense of instrumental color.
