Melody’s Echo Chamber has announced a new album, Unclouded, and accompanying tour of the United States and Europe. Below, check out the dates and watch the gauzy, Diane Sagnier–directed video for “In the Stars.” Domino is releasing the Emotional Eternal follow-up on December 5.
The title of Unclouded is taken from a Hayao Miyazaki quote about achieving equilibrium, a press release notes: “You must see with eyes unclouded by hate. See the good in that which is evil, and the evil in that which is good. Pledge yourself to neither side.” Melody Prochet adds, “I used to feel nostalgic growing into adulthood, but now that I understand that concept of impermanence, I don’t take it as personally anymore.”
Prochet made the album with co-producer and co-writer Sven Wunder; strings player Josefin Runsteen; Dina Ögon guitarist Daniel Ögen and bassist Love Orsan (“masters of the velvet groove,” says Prochet); Heliocentrics drummer Malcolm Catto; and Dungen guitarist Reine Fiske. The recent El Michels Affair collaboration “Daisy” also appears on the LP.
