MELODY'S ECHO CHAMBER - S/T

Ever wondered what could have occurred were the late Trish Keenan to have had the chance to record with Tame Impala singer/songwriter/production whiz Kevin Parker? It might have ended up something like Paris native Melody Prochet's debut solo effort, recorded with Parker and certainly bearing more than a small resemblance to both Broadcast's Tender Buttons as well as, to a lesser extent, later-era Blonde Redhead (not bad things at all in our books).

Another A&R coup for the ever-on-the-ball Fat Possum, adding yet another young, fresh-sounding signing to an already-chockful roster (Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Tennis, Yuck, Smith Westerns, Crocodiles, etc.)! 

"That Prochet is peddling her brand of Krautrock/dream-pop/electronica isn't exactly a unique selling point in 2012. Howeverthankfully, joyously—Melody's Echo Chamber is an utterly marvellous listen. Prochet has blended a myriad of sounds without ever getting engulfed by navel-gazing or disappearing up her own derrière. Melody's Echo Chamber is replete with memorable tunesfully-realised songswhich anchor Prochet's inquisitive ear and desire to experiment." - The Quietus

"It’s easy to ferret out the Spacemen 3 simplicity and static bursts on 'Crystallized,' the bright, girl-group chorus and Bandwagonesque outro guitar shredding of opener 'I’ll Follow You,' or the Stereolab-quality vintage-organ loops of 'Quand Vas Tu Rentrer?' (Prochet sings in both English and French). But the album gets denser and weirder as it progresses, Prochet's high-pitched vocals sounding ever more little-girl-lost among the tone-bending synths of 'Mount Hopeless' and backwards-tracked 'IsThatWhatYouSaid.'" - eMusic
