Melbourne band Rat vs Possum, discuss feijoas, pets and gear with Bachelorette’s ANNABEL ALPERS. Both bands are on the bill for next month’s Melbourne Festival. Read here.

Uncut Magazine, July 2011, reviewed by John Dale:
“Annabel Alpers has flown solo as Bachelorette for a few years now, but with her self-titled third she’s finally started soaring free of her influences. There are still touches of the Stereolab/Broadcast school of archaic electronics, but Alpers’ melodies are now fuller and richer, and texturally Bachelorette brims with contrast, as in “Sugarbug”‘s lift from gentle, ice-blink verses to choruses that fizz with Farfisas. There’s a touch of icy Nico in “The Last Boat’s Leaving”, but the clincher is Alpers’ androgynous vocals – a drowsy Marc Bolan dreaming on helium.”
