We never thought we’d see the day but it’s finally here - Melody’s Echo Chamber has announced that her third studio album Emotional Eternal will be released April 29th via Domino Records. This is her first release since 2018’s Bon Voyage, the first album release with Domino Records and second with Fat Possum.

The album was initially recorded in the outskirts of Stockholm, with Reine Fiske, the multi-instrumentalist member of Swedish rock-band Dungen and Fredrik Swahn, the musician, producer and engineer best known for his work with Swedish indie-rock band The Amazing.

“I hope the record has that uplifting quality,” says Melody. “I wanted to be more grounded and mindful through the process. I guided the sessions with simplicity—a contrast with the maximalism of Bon Voyage and the wilderness of my delusions. I made some big and impactful decisions and changes to my life. It took me to where it is peaceful, and I think the record reflects this. It’s more direct.”

With the announcement comes her first single “Looking Backward,” a beautiful and heavenly dream pop statement that was created out of “serendipity or a happy accident.” The single marks a strong return for the artist with only more strong hits to follow.

“’Looking Backward’ is a vivid, nonchalant, poetic march to the Unknown,” says Melody. “I wrote the lyrics on my way to Stockholm, in transit at the airport, there was a man creating light reflections with his watch and playing with light on the floors and walls. It felt like an act coming from a source of pure creativity, it made me happy to catch it and inspired me to write the song.”
