Artist Bio
Bachelorette is the musical project of New Zealander Annabel Alpers. Formed in 2004 in Christchurch, Bachelorette mixes '60s psychedelia and girl-group pop with folk and vintage electronics
Bachelorette envisions herself surrounded by her computer ‘musicians’; her songs “often start simply and spiral outward like cotton candy in the making.Bachelorette’s music was originally crafted with thrift-store found instruments, resulting in psychedelic computer folk music, like a “lo-fi, one-woman version of Animal Collective.
Alpers tends to write all albums in isolation in various countryside locales: the Canterbury Hills and west coast of New Zealand, and in rural Virginia. Her music is of that interdependent relationship - sometimes romantic - that exists between humans and machine, where one cannot successfully conquer the other. After touring the United States in 2008, Drag City put out Bachelorette’s first international release, ‘My Electric Family’. Bachelorette’s songs “Long Time Gone” and “Her Rotating Head” were used in Grey’s Anatomy episodes 6.04 and 6.08, respectively. Bachelorette has since toured with Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy, Bill Callahan, Animal Collective, Beach House, Zola Jesus and Peter Bjorn & John, in addition to her own headline tours in the US and Europe.
Bachelorette’s self-titled “Bachelorette” was released internationally the week of May 16, 2011
