On her fourth album, “Unclouded“, Melody’s Echo Chamber embarks on a life-affirming new chapter with an album that celebrates the present moment, whatever state we find ourselves in. Beautifully psychedelic songs and the band on this album are just unreal!
“Unclouded’s” impressive cast includes Swedish maestro Sven Wunder, who co-produced the record and contributed to the writing, Josefin Runsteen on strings, Dina Ögon’s Daniel Ögen on guitar and Love Orsan on bass (who Melody describes as “masters of the velvet groove”), British drummer (and Dinked alumnus) Malcolm Catto, and frequent collaborator Reine Fiske (of the great Dungen) whose guitar parts can be heard shimmering throughout the record.
Last but not least, Leon Michels collaborated with Melody on the album’s gorgeous closer “Daisy”, a sparkling pop song plucked from the ether.
“The music I create unusually inhabits the liminal zone between realism and fables,” says Melody of the album. “But the more experience I have of living, the deeper I love life and the less I need to escape. If my heart still belongs to the blue hour, it also feels like I’ve gathered up all the pieces of myself that were scattered everywhere and glued them.”
The album includes recent single “Daisy” and with the album announcement comes new single “In the Stars.” “My eyes are closed not in denial, but in devotion—to vibrant memories, to the complexity of human feelings, to seeing more deeply,” says Melody Prochet of her new Melody’s Echo Chamber single. “It’s also driven by a resilient aesthetic that emphasizes the beauty of transient things and the bittersweet feeling of their impermanence.” New album Unclouded is out December 5.
Melody’s Echo Chamber releases her fifth album in December and here’s an early taste.
