Mistletone proudly presents the return of New Zealand via New York’s Bachelorette, launching her self-titled album at Goodgod Small Club on Saturday, October 22nd with support from Donny Benet and Jasmina Maschina. Tickets $20 + booking fee on sale now from Moshtix.

Described variously as a one-woman Animal Collective and a female Syd Barrett, Bachelorette (AKA Annabel Alpers) has a singular brand of psychedelic computer folk pop, comprising expansive, layered loops and radiant multi-tracked harmonies. A strange, enveloping tangle of synthesised melody and claustrophobic texture built around Annabel’s raw and endlessly multi-layered voice, Bachelorette will take you on a sonic journey to a universe sustained by the logic of androids, cities, waveforms and love.

Supports for Bachelorette’s Sydney show are Sydney’s own sophisticated lover Donny Benet, continuing his quest to become the most famous disco accordian/jazz bassist of the 21st century, and Melbourne via Berlin’s Jasmina Maschina who will open the evening with a culmination of sound, song and ambience, as her experimental electronic folk soundscapes transport you into her beautiful world of sonic adventure, strong emotions, electronics, songs and deep love.

Bachelorette, the third album by Bachelorette, was recently released by Mistletone Records in Australia, Drag City in the US and Souterrain Transmissions in Europe, and has been attracting the highest praise for its accomplished blend of 70s psychedelia, 80s electro-pop, 90s shoegaze and 00s electronica.

“A swirling mix of folky introspection, driving, Kosmische repetition, and undulating drones. The constant throughout is Kiwi Annabel Alpers beautiful voice, an otherworldly croon that’s gospel-like in its devotion” – TWO THOUSAND

“Alpers is making music like few others, a one-of-a-kind blend of electronics and folk lyricism” – DRUM MEDIA

“Few exponents of electronic pop create albums as original and enduring as (Bachelorette) … a refinement of her already prodigious talent for vocal harmonies over infatuating synth hooks” – SYDNEY MORNING HERALD
