French musician Melody Prochet’s fourth album as Melody’s Echo Chamber, Unclouded, will arrive Dec. 5 from Domino Records and, as previously reported, was produced and co-written with Swedish musician Sven Wunder. A new song, “In the Stars,” is out now.
“The music I create unusually inhabits the liminal zone between realism and fables,” says Prochet. “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 together with gold like Japanese kintsugi.”
In addition to Wunder and his partner, multi-instrumentalist Josefin Runsteen, Unclouded boasts contributions from Leon Michels’ El Michels Affair, Dina Ögon’s Daniel Ögen and Love Orsan, Heliocentrics drummer Malcolm Catto and Dungen guitarist Reine Fiske.
“It is a little bit outside of the Sven sound, but I think people will be able to hear that I had some part in the making of it,” Wunder recently told SPIN of Unclouded. “We had a bit of a different way to compose songs, but it turned out really nice. It was a really fun experience because to work with such a vocalist is something I haven’t done that much. Sometimes we would bang our heads, but she always knew where she was heading.”
Prochet will support the album with a 2026 tour, beginning April 14 in Berlin and concluding May 23 in Seattle.
