Melody's Echo Chamber Takes Flight with Dreamy Dreampop on 'Unclouded'
In her latest release, Melody Prochet weaves an enchanting sonic tapestry that transports listeners to a serene and ethereal realm. The French musician, known for her distinctive vocals and genre-bending style, has assembled a diverse cast of collaborators to help shape the sound of Unclouded, her fourth album.
From Tame Impala's Kevin Parker to Dungen's Reine Fiske, Prochet has consistently sought out artists who can complement her vision. And with producers Sven Wunder and DJ Shadow collaborator Malcolm Catto on board, this eclectic ensemble delivers a richly textured and varied sound. The album features lush strings courtesy of Josefin Runsteen and percussive flourishes that evoke the likes of Saint Etienne and Lush.
Lyrically, Prochet's Unclouded offers a message of hope and redemption. Inspired by Japanese animator Hayao Miyazaki's words of wisdom – "You must see with eyes unclouded by hate. See the good in that which is evil, and the evil in that which is good" – the album takes aim at dispelling darkness with its sunny disposition. Tracks like Into Shadows' brisk pace inject a welcome dose of energy, while Broken Roses' lush strings create an idyllic atmosphere reminiscent of Burning Man.
While Unclouded doesn't boast any show-stopping tracks, the album's soothing quality makes for a calming listen. Memory's Underground offers another gentle shift in tempo, evoking the melodic sensibilities of The Beatles. Throughout, Prochet's airy vocals and baroque dreampop create an enchanting world where music and nature blend seamlessly.
With Unclouded, Melody's Echo Chamber cements her status as a masterful artist capable of crafting sonic landscapes that transport listeners to new and wondrous territories.

the way Melody weaves together different sounds and vibes is pure magic 
I mean, who wouldn't want to escape into an ethereal realm with lush strings and dreamy dreampop? 
it's like she's created her own little world where music and nature are one 
and I love how she incorporates those Miyazaki quotes - it's so inspiring to spread positivity and hope through art 
I've been listening on repeat since the moment it dropped, can't get enough of that soothing quality 
It's like she's created this whole other world where darkness disappears and all that's left is peace and serenity 
The collaborations with artists like Kevin Parker and DJ Shadow are pure magic 
I'm not gonna lie, it's not the most show-stopping album, but in a good way... it's like she's taking you on this gentle journey where music and nature merge 
️ melody prochet's vocals are just magical too, like she's singing straight from her heart 
what do u guys think of melody's latest release? 
The French girl's got talent pouring outta every pore - dreamy dreampop at its finest 
. Unclouded is like a warm hug for your soul 
. And while I appreciate the nod to Hayao Miyazaki's wisdom, "hope and redemption" can feel a bit... generic 
. Plus, some of these features just sound like they could've come from any other indie album 
. Don't get me wrong, Melody Prochet is still talented, but I need something with a little more oomph 
!
The album is like a calming storm on a tranquil lake 
Unclouded is the perfect soundtrack for when you need to escape reality 
the way she weaves these different sounds together is like nothing I've ever heard before its like a warm hug for your soul 
its not just one track that stands out to me but the whole thing is like a gentle breeze on a summer day
