"We visualize the music of Bachelorette beaming through distant star systems, gliding and bouncing through a matrix of coolly illuminated neural pathways. Yet, all the songs on her new album were written on Earth: Radley, UK; Tripoli, Libya; Millwood, VA; Brooklyn, NYC and back home in Auckland, NZ. Annabel Alpers (the heart behind Bachelorette's machine) is no sky-bound jet-trash. Her new, self-titled album has a corporeal, sensual tangibility. If you were a fan of the wildly under-heard Isolation Loops and My Electric Family, you will be touched and torched once again by her deep-space solitude and the soulful ache that radiates from her best songs. Annabel Alpers dreams the trappings of her electro psych pop -- her melodies, her minimal lines of synth and harmony vocal -- and then brings the complex shades of this vision into our world through her music. Changing geography doesn't actually change the conditions that we live in. Wherever you go, there you are, right? However, everywhere is somewhere, and all the traveling done in the last year or so of Bachelorette's life has to seep somehow into her rich-toned amalgamation of sounds. When organic waves enter her work -- as cathedral chimes did in Oxford -- they return swathed in a lunar halo."
