"Thirteen years and five albums into her career as Melody's Echo Chamber, Melody Prochet has settled into a pleasing groove, making lithe, jazzy, effervescent psychedelia with an insanely talented group of musicians that includes Dungen's Reine Fiske. Apart from Fiske, though, Unclouded features a new backing band led by producer Sven Wunder and featuring incredible Heliocentrics bandleader Malcolm Catto (Madlib, DJ Shadow) on drums."
"Until then here's a mix of two new albums ( Melody's Echo Chamber, TEED), a fantastic Baxter Dury remix EP featuring Jarvis Cocker, DJ Parrot and Marie Davidson, and two catch-up reviews of records I didn't write about at the time of release ( Ribbon Skirt, Litronix), plus a look back at The Housemartins' perfect debut album for his week's Indie Basement Classic."
December brings a slowdown in new releases and signals the approach of list season. The coverage includes two new albums (Melody's Echo Chamber, TEED), a Baxter Dury remix EP featuring Jarvis Cocker, DJ Parrot and Marie Davidson, catch-up reviews of Ribbon Skirt and Litronix, and a look back at The Housemartins' debut as an Indie Basement Classic. Notable Releases highlight redveil and HAYWARDxDÄLEK. Melody Prochet's Unclouded showcases a new backing band led by Sven Wunder, with Malcolm Catto on drums, Daniel Ögen and Love Orsan on guitar and bass, and delicate string arrangements by Josefin Runsteen. Several tracks offer lightly trippy, sunny psychedelia, even if the album is less challenging than Bon Voyage.
