The Paris-Stockholm axis is intact. French singer Melody Prochet has once again found her way up north to work on an album with insane guitarist Reine Fiske and producer Fredrik Swahn. Fiske and Swahn accompany Swedish bands like Dungen or The Amazing on their way to play timeless dreamy indie psychedelic.

The aesthetics of Melody Prochet’s dream pop songs fit perfectly into this concept, and their first collaboration on the album BON VOYAGE (2018) was already convincing. If the work on it was overshadowed by a car accident, EMOTIONAL ETERNAL exudes confidence. The pieces are about hypnosis or pyramids in the clouds – they sound correspondingly enraptured.
Flutes and tablas, arabesques and cosmic sound effects: EMOTIONAL ETERNAL is also a hippie dream. Prochet’s high voice is reminiscent of Isobel Campbell or Claudine Longet, she switches fluently between French and English, searching for a way through complex harmonies and arrangements. With “Personal Message” she succeeds particularly well, the maternity song “Alama, The Voyage” only crosses the border into kitsch, but when the violins tell of the new life at the end … oh!
