is the project of Melody Prochet, a young singer from Paris who plays the guitar, viola and omnichord. She sings in English because «French is a very difficult language and I haven't managed yet to write good french lyrics». But her dreampop has still the typical charm you maybe only find in this country. Etherous and tender songs that wrap a cosy blanket around you and let you drift away.
I remember singing for the first time alone the All Saints song «Pure Shores» in front of the whole class... such a cool song.
best concert you ever attended
Grizzly Bear, Deerhunter, Dirty Projectors, Tame Impala in Paris. I think I can't decide wich one was the best.
your boozed up anthem
Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti - Hardcore Pops Are Fun
Jeesus, this song is so «disjointed» and cool.
a song guaranteed to make you feel depressed
Nick Drake - River Man
I wouldn't say depressed but I think of «River Man» by Nick Drake. So beautiful and sensitive.
record you were looking for the longest
Public Strain - Women
I couldn't find it anywhere in Paris for a moment. Found it at our friend's record shop Ground Zero! He owns the coolest record shop on the cutest little place in Paris. Go there. Place Sainte Marthe.
a record you fell in love to
Broadcast - The Noise Made By People
I still can't believe Trish Keenan is gone. She was my female Egeria. She inspired me so much. What a tragical loss.
first record you remember
Erik Satie - Gymnopédies
My dad bought me this same record for a few christmas in a row, always forgot he already did the year before, now I have it in every special editions. I really love it/them though.
first video clip you remember?
Björk - Human Behaviour
Probably «Human Behaviour» by Björk shot by Michel Gondry. I adore Gondry. He's so inspired and everything he does is so sensitive and insanely smart.
the song to be played at your funeral
Sibelius - La Valse triste
a song that evokes the greatest summer of your life
OutKast - Hey Ya!
Ha, the song «Hey Ya!» by OutKast reminds me clearly of an awesome bar on the beach in the south of France.
your ultimate heartbreak song
Department Of Eagles - In Ear Park
My eyes still fill of tears when I watch Daniel Rossen's dumbo session. I think he's one of the best musicians of this generation.
best Jacques Brel song
«Ces gens-là»
your liberation anthem
Joy Division - Transmission
Dance dance dance dance dance to the Radio...
perfect anthem for Paris
Sebastien Tellier - Roche
I would say «Roche» by Sebastien Tellier. He's talking about Biarritz in the song though, ha... He's such a good representative of the rich, lazy and hype parisian electro musicians. But I like his ridiculous sense of humor and music a lot. He also seems really smart in a way.
your party anthem
Tame Impala's future album. And Kindness's debut album too. Can't wait.
first record you bought
Radiohead - Knives Out
Honestly? it might be a Spice Girls record! But the first one that thrilled me was probably Radiohead's record «Amnesiac». Especially the song «Knives Out».
a song that reminds your friends of you
Serge Gainsbourg - Bonnie And Clyde
My friends always try to sing the little weird noise/instrument that goes like «cooloukoucoukoo». They're hilarious.
a song you would use as a ring-tone
The Kinks - Tired Of Waiting For You
My actual ringtone is «Tired Of Waiting For You» by The Kinks. It used to be «In Particular» by Blonde Redhead for a long time, but I never heard it ringing and friends started to be bored of me missing all the calls.
a song to seduce you
The Flamingos - I Only Have Eyes For You
If someone plays this for me he'll win my heart really easily.
Dennis Wilson - Lady
a song you would send over the ocean
Alain Bashung - Madame Rêve
your sunday morning song
Jane Birkin - Jane B
(Gainsbourg kind of Chopin's cover). Works very well on a sunday.
a song you wish you'd written yourself
Broadcast - Come On Let's Go
Well, I wish I wrote all their songs of all their albums.
Metronomy
a song that evokes the greatest summer of your life Jurassic 5
are finally back. After their very promising debut they took some time to come back with an album that finally shows the full potential of what Johnny Jewel & co is capable of. Where «In The City» left off ...
