Melody’s Echo Chamber Unveils ‘Unclouded’ Album with Dreamy Single ‘In The Stars’ and 2026 Global Tour

Explore the ethereal world of Melody’s Echo Chamber’s new album ‘Unclouded’ and get ready for her 2026 UK, European, and North American tour.

A New Chapter for Melody’s Echo Chamber: ‘Unclouded’ Arrives This December

If you’re anything like me—a longtime fan who’s cherished every shimmering note and psychedelic swirl Melody Prochet brings as Melody’s Echo Chamber—then you’ll be thrilled by this latest announcement. On September 30, Melody’s Echo Chamber revealed the release of her fourth studio album, Unclouded, alongside a hypnotic new single, “In The Stars.” Mark your calendars: the album drops December 5 via Domino.

Melody Prochet returns with a sonic dreamscape in 'Unclouded'

The fresh single blends dreamy psych-pop textures with a gentle, floaty vibe that instantly pulls you into that liminal space between daydream and reality—something Prochet has mastered throughout her career. As someone who’s followed her journey, this track feels like a warm invitation back into her uniquely kaleidoscopic world.

The Heart Behind ‘Unclouded’: Melody’s Personal Growth and Artistic Vision

What I find especially compelling about this album is how deeply personal it feels, yet universal in its emotional reach. Melody shared that her music often lives "in the liminal zone between realism and fables," but with more life experience, she embraces reality instead of fleeing from it. She poetically described this transformation like Japanese kintsugi—the art of mending broken pottery with gold lacquer, symbolizing the beauty in healing and imperfection.

“The music I create unusually inhabits the liminal zone between realism and fables, but the more experience I have of living, the deeper I love life and the less I need to escape.”
— Melody Prochet

That’s a sentiment that rings loudly with anyone who’s grown through their trials, learning to find beauty in impermanence and complexity. The album’s title itself, Unclouded, draws inspiration from an evocative quote by legendary Japanese animator Hayao Miyazaki about balance and seeing the world without prejudice:

“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 reflects on this wisdom, noting how she’s moved past nostalgic clinging to youth and now embraces impermanence with grace, quickly recovering from life’s ups and downs with renewed harmony.

Let the Music Take You: Listen to ‘In The Stars’

If you haven’t heard it yet, the new single “In The Stars” is a lush, dreamy track that perfectly sets the tone for Unclouded. It’s a sonic journey that feels like walking through twilight—soft, mysterious, and rich with warm layers of sound.
