Melody's Echo Chamber previews new album with third single "Alma"

"Alma" follows previous singles "Personal Message" and "Looking Backward", and is teamed with a Hyoyon Paik-directed video.

Melody’s Echo Chamber, real name Mélody Prochet, said of the new release, "To me this song is a butterfly. It feels more like a little poem to life than a song; it was the first song to arise from the echoes of silence since Bon Voyage. I think I recorded the emotion of that kind of spiritual experience of the essential yet heart-breaking separation from the pure love bubble to the world of others."

She added, "We recorded "Alma" in Swahn's studio in Stockholm again; I remember we gave special attention to the groove, to give it a swing and emphasis on the light side, with a minor sound of danger in the veil of the mist somewhere. Johan Holmegaard played drums, Gustav Estjes played the piano and little velvet flute; Josephin Runsteen created transcending strings and noises directed by Reine and Swahn."

Melody's Echo Chamber's third album Emotional Eternal will follow 2018's Bon Voyage album, and was recorded in the outskirts of Stockholm.

"I hope the record has that uplifting quality," Prochet says. "I wanted to be more grounded and mindful through the process. I guided the sessions with simplicity - a contrast with the maximalism of Bon Voyage and the wilderness of my delusions. I made some big and impactful decisions and changes to my life. It took me to where it is peaceful, and I think the record reflects this. It’s more direct."
