A Benefit for War Child

Manimal Vinyl

11th October 2010

A project that began in early 2008 will at last see the light of day and grace itself upon the shelves of record shops across the world.
What began as a vague idea of fresh and seasoned artists paying homage to the man who invented the art of reinvention, David Bowie.
War Child is a charity that helps children affected by war across the globe no matter what border they inhabit. A charity that Bowie makes no secret about supporting.
Within a few months, Devendra Banhart (Megapuss), Vivian Girls, Carla Bruni, A Place To Bury Strangers all came on board to contribute tracks.
By the summer of 2009, the record had began to take shape when the addition of pop legends Duran Duran, ex-Slits Viv Albertine and legendary avant-garde bassist/musician Mick Karn were added to the roster.
Manimal friends and alumni’s, Warpaint, Chairlift and Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros came on board by that autumn.
With a final track listing that is as diverse as it is chameleon-like, just like the thin-white duke himself, We Were So Turned On has something for every Bowie lover.

“Annabel Alpers, a uniquely engaging oddity who captures NZ’s sense of space and seclusion. A real treasure.” Mojo ****

“… a kind of lo-fi, one woman version of Animal Collective…” Q ***

“…the record is a nebulous dream-like beast which demands that you completely submit to the delicate complexities within and become as enthralled as I was.” Big Cheese ****

“My Electric Family is endlessly inventive and rewarding.” MusicOMH ****

Bachelorette’s Annabel Alpers has a family of synthesizers, keyboards and computers that beam to us all the way from Christchurch, New Zealand. Her third album, My Electric Family was released last year on Drag City and is a hand-woven sci-folk lullaby that delves into your subconscious and hits you right at your electric core!

Alpers stands in the cradle of modern songwriting, that of psychedelic pop music. The sense of infinite possibility felt in those songs, the desire to manipulate a collective sensation to become anything at all, informs Bachelorette’s journey. Her beats, voices, keyboards, and a variety of guitars and percussions to create the melodic constructs we know so well, and delight in, and sing along with, and imagine to.

Her flighty vocals have been compared to Syd Barrett and her multi-tracked harmonies have a Spectorish touch.

Don’t miss one of Bachelotette’s rare UK shows – her songs will be filled with starlight supernova and black hole energies pouring through tales of earthbound love and longing.

UK Dates:

Sunday 25th April – Leeds, Brudenell Social Club (w/ Bear in Heaven)
Monday 26th April – Sheffield, The Harley
Tuesday 27th April – London, White Heat @ Madame Jo Jo’s
Tuesday 4th May – London, Cargo (w/High Places)
