Melody's Echo Chamber is back with details of second album Bon Voyage
Melody Prochet is back with details of the second Melody's Echo Chamber album and new song "Breathe In, Breathe Out".
"Breathe In, Breathe Out" shows off Prochet's recently learned drum skills and comes with an animated video directed by Daniel Foothead.
Bon Voyage - which features songs sung in English, French, and Swedish - follows Prochet's Kevin Parker-produced debut, which was released in 2012. We've already heard album opener "Cross My Heart", which was released last year.
The new album (which draws heavily from her time in Sweden) sees Prochet collaborating with Dungen’s Reine Fiske and The Amazing’s Fredrik Swahn, and it features guest turns from Gustav Esjtes and Johan Holmegaard (both of Dungen), as well as Nicholas Allbrook (Pond).
"Swedish nature helped me to breathe and soothed me in times of anxiety," Prochet explains. "I had a majestic forest with a lake three minutes’ walk from my home. Recording sessions were a break in our lives, an escape from our frustrations as young adults, parents, musicians and embittered life jugglers. What transpired was a kind of modern fairytale full of duality: beautiful and disenchanted, happy and painful, internal and external, childish and mature, but also violent and measured. We had no structure and no limits and we stepped out of our comfort zones."
Prochet's return comes after a lengthy period away from the spotlight following a "serious accident" - the unspecified accident forced the cancellation of her then-upcoming tour and a put a halt to album plans at the time, but she seems to have recovered well and it's very good to see her back making music.
