BW's PLAYLIST/ KHSU, 90.5/ SAT., 29 SEPT. 2012

Melody Prochet, French mulit-instrumentalist for the band My Bee's Garden and Tame Impala's Kevin Parker have collaborated (after a Tame Impala concert in Paris) for the excellent dream pop project Melody's Echo Chamber. It's filled with jangle, atmospherics and the cool smoldering vocal of Ms. Prochet, who wrote all the songs for this self-titled recording on Fat Possum.
