Bachelor (a collaboration from musicians Melina Duterte and Ellen Kemper) share memories, insight into their record-making process, and their thoughts on why they make such great collaborators and friends.
For musicians Melina Duterte and Ellen Kemper, the collaborative project Bachelor is not just one of musical expression but also friendship. The week they took away from their solo projects — Jay Som and Palehound, respectively — to make the EP Doomin’ Sun was full of not just music-making but also cooking, hot tubbing, TV watching, and just general bonding. Speaking with Cheryl Waters, the duo share memories of that incredible week, insight into their record-making process, and their thoughts on why they make such great collaborators and friends.
