Formerly of The Narcoleptic Dancers and My Bee’s Garden, Prochet has embraced dream pop with Melody’s Echo Chamber project. The classically-trained Parisian recruited Tame Impala frontman Kevin Parker to produce the self-titled debut album in 2012. The independently-produced album Bon Voyage was released in 2018.
On the debut album, lead single/opener “I Follow You” begins with simple, sun-drenched ’60s melodies and ambling guitars before descending into a psychedelic swirl that recalls Parker’s day job. Consider that spiral a gentle warning to not expect anything straightforward from Melody’s Echo Chamber, especially when things seem to be heading in that direction. On “Endless Shore”, for example, Prochet crafts a densely layered haze complete with ethereal coos signature to the style, yet she does so in a manner that’s less pensive and more authoritative. The rhythm section doesn’t bother with hypnosis, favoring a superliminal approach, a feat developed well into the motorik beats of “Crystallized”. The unabashed prettiness of Prochet’s vocals on “You Won’t Be Missing That Part Of Me” are undercut by sci-fi tinged synth notes that propel the song into the unknown cosmos. “Snowcapped Andes Crash” finds the band swapping their pop leanings for a jazzy feel. The track’s midsection crashes back to earth, only to continue as if the avalanches of the title never happened. Fuzzed guitars take a backseat to Air-like grooves on “Mount Hopeless”, chiming in and out like some kind of warning. This lounge-y vibe is immediately shattered on the glitched-out two minute distortion-fest “Is That What You Said”. It would have been the album’s strangest moment if it weren’t for closer “Be Proud of Your Kids”, during which one cannot help but recall M83′s “Raconte-Moi Une Histoire” thanks to the supporting contribution of an actual French child, curious to know whether "you've already seen a completely naked woman in the street. What colour was her backside?" and other niceties before informing the listener that "the radio is finished, voilà."

I Follow You
Melody's Echo Chamber Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning | Line by Line Meaning
I was hoping you might go
You would never show me how
Much you cared of what was going on
I follow you
Pretend you want me to
Living a test
Locked up with you
I know you trust me enough
Then i do stupid things
The things i always do
This time with you
Our love is new
It's been too long since you are gone
I am thinking of you alone
You would never show me how
Much you scared of what was going on
I follow you
Pretend you need me to
Living a test
Locked up with you
I know you trust me enough
But i do stupid things
The things i always do
This time with you
Our love is new
I need someone to be close forever
The lyrics to "I Follow You" by Melody's Echo Chamber explore the complexities of a relationship that's still in its early stages. The speaker of the song seems to be experiencing doubt and confusion about their partner, who they accuse of being cold and not showing how much they care. Despite this, the speaker continues to follow their partner and act as if they want the same things, even though they know deep down that they may be making mistakes. The chorus uses repetition to emphasize the speaker's desire to be close to their partner and to demonstrate that they are willing to do whatever it takes to make the relationship work.
The theme of uncertainty is further emphasized by the use of imagery throughout the song. The speaker describes feeling "locked up" with their partner, which suggests a sense of being trapped or confined. This may be a metaphor for the speaker's feelings of being stuck in an unfulfilling relationship. The repeated use of the phrase "living a test" also reinforces this idea of uncertainty and the idea that the speaker is unsure of what their partner really wants from them.
Overall, "I Follow You" is a moving and introspective song that captures the complicated emotions that come with being in a new relationship. The lyrics speak to a sense of insecurity and confusion that many people can relate to, making it a powerful and relatable track.

I blindly follow you, pretending that you want me to. I feel like I'm being tested while being trapped in this relationship. I know that you trust me, but I still do foolish things like I always do. However, this time it's new because we're in love.
It's been too long since you are gone
It's been too long since you left
I am thinking of you alone
I am thinking about you by myself

My own demons
Sneak under my pillow
Not someone (I just need you)
That comes and goes wherever (But I don't want you)
I need you here (You don't need me)
Stay and show me your love (I just want you)

So, here are the most accurate lyrics I could get:
I was wrong and you were cold
I was hoping you might go
You never showed me how
much you cared and what was going on
I follow you, pretend you want me to
Living the days, locked there with you
I told you "trust me enough
that all the stupid things,
the things I always do,
they stop with you", I always knew
It's been too long since you are gone
I am thinking of you a lot
You never showed me how
much you're scared of what was going on
I follow you, pretend you need me to
Living the days, locked there with you
I told you "trust me enough
that all the stupid things,
the things I always do,
they stop with you", I always knew
I need some one
to be close when at night
my old demons
sneak under my pillow,
not someone that
comes and goes whenever
I need soothing,
stay and show me your love.
