from out of a clear blue sky comes ?my electric family?, the second full-length and third all-round release from new zealand?s bachelorette. bachelorette?s music beams to us through a universe of unconquered pop music, where long beams of sunlight extend to infinity, and blue moons rise wistfully in the deep purple expanse. she 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. bachelorette?s song structures are traditionally examinations of love and longing, the exploration of self versus self and in relation to the surrounding, silent universe. the songs of ?my electric family? emphasize a particular fascination: the meeting of man and machine. ?my electric family? is an arresting development in the world of sweet pop music.
