Melody’s Echo Chamber’s new UK single, ‘Crystallized,’ out on the 18th of March, will come backed with an unreleased gem in the form of ‘Je Me Perds de Vue’ – a track that originally appeared reversed and warped on Prochet’s debut as the spiralling and transportive instrumental ‘IsThatWhatYouSaid.’ Now restored to its former glory, ‘Je Me Perds de Vue’ reveals itself as another romantic, celestial ear-worm in the Melody’s Echo Chamber arsenal to rival ‘Crystallized’ itself or former single ‘I Follow You.’

What the press is saying:
“From dream-pop and shoegaze to ’60s lysergia and electronic exotica…spectacularly effervescent” – Mojo (4*)
“A future classic” – DJ Mag (10/10, Albums of 2012)
“a thing of propulsive dream-pop beauty” – NME (#16 Albums of 2012)
“A trickily raw record that sweeps you up in its layered psychedelic flourishes” – The Fader
“A record of psych-tinged pop with just the right amount of thematic darkness and grime around the edges. Prochet has a way with melody and a voice that places her among the top tier graduates of the school of dream pop” – Pitchfork
“An intoxicating listen that’s well worth experiencing for yourself” – Q (4*)
“an utterly marvellous listen […] a glorious album” – The Quietus (Albums of 2012)
