Song:Crystallized
Album:Melody's Echo Chamber
Fans of neo psychedelia will want to check out Melody's Echo Chamber. It's another case of a solo artist hiding behind a band name. Melody Prochet was born Apr. 3, 1987 in Puyricard, France. She recorded as Narcoleptic Dancers and My Bee's Garden. She turned My Bee's Garden into a band and in 2010 they toured with the Aussie band Tame Impala. Tame Impala leader Kevin Parker invited Melody to record at his recording studio in Perth, Australia. Apparently the name Melody's Echo Chamber came from a dream she had about the acoustics in her bedroom. It also meant she could sell it to a different record company. Fat Possum released Melody's Echo Chamber in 2012. Melody's music certainly isn't mainstream but it got a lot of critical buzz. As I said, I recommend Melody's Echo Chamber to fans of neo psychedelia or dream pop. There is a second album. Melody released a single in 2014. Earlier this year she released a video on Youtube. The album is called Bon Voyage. Then in June her family posted on Facebook that Melody was in a serious car accident and she is in hospital for the next few months. The album release is postponed and her tour was canceled. Hopefully Melody returns in 2018 and the album is released and the tour rescheduled. Here's the video for Crystallized by Melody's Echo Chamber.
