Annabel Alpers' is originally from Christchurch and her full-length debut under the Bachelorette name is as classic an example of accomplished one-person-and-a-studio pop as one could want, effortlessly synthesizing everything from BBC Radiophonic Workshop synth experimentation and massed choral vocals to wry lyrics on the mundane details of life and love. It may sound strange to say it's a specifically New Zealand sound, but like her fellow Kiwi Chris Knox there's an immediate sense throughout 'Isolation Loops' of how she approaches songwriting and performing as a chance to explore the possibilities of seemingly rough-and-ready creation.
Songs like "A Lifetime" may initially rely on spare drum beats and home organs, for example, but the precision she applies throughout her arrangements, gentle surprises lurking at almost every step, results in remarkably individual, inspired tracks. This kind of recombination of styles flows so easily across Isolation Loops that it's a joy to hear. (AMG)
