Melody’s Echo Chamber: Melody’s Echo Chamber – review

Melody's Echo Chamber's debut is dream-pop with some heft, but a lack of consistency lets it down, writes Hermione Hoby
  
  


The combination of fuzzed-out guitars and breathy, girlish vocals is by now an almost devalued musical currency, but this debut, a collaboration from Parisian singer Melody Prochet's and Tame Impala's Kevin Parker, is a dream-pop album with some heft. Crystallised, in particular, kicks into a deeply satisfying psych-rock crunch halfway through - a reverb-heavy, robust foil for Prochet's feathery voice. But for much of the unfocused second half of the album, their sounds stray into Stereolab-lite, especially with the wafty to the point of enervated stylings of Bisou Magique.
