Melody's Echo Chamber

Melody Prochet first came to prominence fronting the band My Bee’s Garden, a band who supported Kevin Parker’s band Tame Impala all over Europe in 2010. Prochet and Parker struck up a friendship together just as Prochet was making plans to record a solo album. Parker offered to produce and record the album in his recording studio in Perth, Australia and Prochet gladly accepted, recording the album in 2011 in Perth and at her grandmother’s home in the south of France. Thanks to Parker’s patronage and the sheer quality of the record, the self-titled album was picked up and released in the U.S by Fat Possum Records in 2012.

Almost immediately the record enjoyed critical acclaim, gathering fawning notices by everyone from Drowned In Sound to Q Magazine, and this translated into some genuinely healthy sales for an independently released debut album, charting on the Billboard Heatseekers chart in 2013. With a second album’s release in 2015 imminent and a hugely acclaimed debut single under her belt in the form of 2014’s “Shirim”, Melody’s Echo Chamber have the world of indie rock at their feet. They seem set to follow in Tame Impala’s footsteps and become psychedelic heroes for a whole new generation of rock fans, and for that, they come highly recommended.
