About Bachelor
Bachelor is a duo project for Ellen Kempner and Melina Duterte, two songwriters who each lead their own indie rock acts. Doomin' Sun came out on Polyvinyl, and they made it together in a rented house in Topanga, California, writing and recording the songs in the same room. Kempner and Duterte split the lead vocals and stack their voices against each other, so the songs read as conversations between two writers. Distorted, slightly ragged guitar sits against tidy pop structures, and the lyrics deal in anxiety and dark jokes.
