Ahead of the release of her fourth studio album, Unclouded, this Friday, Melody’s Echo Chamber releases new track, “The House That Doesn’t Exist”.

Featuring swooping strings, “The House That Doesn’t Exist” has a diaphanous elegance, climbing vertiginously and then concluding pleasingly in the lower register. The symbiotic working relationship between Melody and producer Sven Wunder is epitomised, with Melody’s electrifying verses being answered each time by the complimentary ensemble.

“The House That Doesn’t Exist turns the impossible perspective of a joyful human life in today’s world into reality, evoking a new sense of faith.” says Melody.

The track arrives today alongside a beautiful haunting video by long term collaborator, Diane Sagnier.

Additionally, Melody’s Echo Chamber will be doing a Q+A and signing at London’s Rough Trade East on Wednesday 10th December.

Unclouded features previously released singles “In The Stars”, which was praised by Clash for “its drifting psych-pop ambience”, “Eyes Closed” which was included in Under The Radar’s ‘Best Songs of the Week’ and El Michels Affair collaborative track “Daisy” which Stereogum labelled as “bright, delicate and airy…mov(ing) with a skip in its step”.

“The music I create unusually inhabits the liminal zone between realism and fables,” says Melody. “But the more experience I have of living, the deeper I love life and the less I need to escape. If my heart still belongs to the blue hour, it also feels like I’ve gathered up all the pieces of myself that were scattered everywhere and glued them together with gold like Japanese kintsugi.” (Kintsugi is a Japanese art where broken pottery is put back together with gold or silver lacquer).

Unclouded’s impressive cast includes Swedish maestro Sven Wunder (Danny Brown) who co-produced the record and contributed to the writing, bringing his unique sonic palette to the richly-textured canvas; Josefin Runsteen on strings, who brings her avant-garde smarts to the tableau; Dina Ögon’s Daniel Ögen on guitar and Love Orsan on bass who Melody describes as “masters of the velvet groove”; British drummer Malcolm Catto, collaborator with Madlib and DJ Shadow, and the powerhouse behind The Heliocentrics; frequent collaborator Reine Fiske (of Dungen) who laid down some stunning, Johnny Marr-esque guitar parts that can be found throughout the record.

Last but not least, Leon Michels - the Wu-Tang, The Carters, Norah Jones and Clairo collaborator - worked with Melody on the album’s closer and recently released single “Daisy”, a sparkling pop song plucked from the ether. El Michels Affair’s Grammy-winning mixer Jens Jungkurth, was drafted in to bring everything to life.

Unclouded is brimming with the positive energy that propelled Prochet across the world on Melody Echo Chamber’s lauded “comeback” tour of 2022. On returning to the Alps of High Provence, she began writing in earnest. What inspired her? “My deeper love for the living experience,” she says. “I still get ups and downs but I’m faster at getting back to more harmonious feelings.”

Unclouded is an album that celebrates the present moment, whatever state we find ourselves in.
