Reflections That You Can’t See

Melody’s Echo Chamber “Looking Backward”

“Looking Backwards” has the aesthetics and feel of modern dissociation wave psychedelia but the groove of classic Motown. This gives the song a powerful sensation of forward momentum but also a dazed feeling, like you’re just careening into a pleasant void. Melody Prochet’s lyrics get a bit obscured on account of her thin, high voice blurring into the treble but the lines that hit the ear clearly suggest a cosmic approach to processing a break up. There’s a wave of disappointment cresting through this track, but the primary emotion is closer to acceptance.
