Melody's Echo Chamber is the eponymous debut studio album by the French psychedelic pop band Melody's Echo Chamber. It was released on 25 September 2012 on Weird World Record Co and Fat Possum Records.
Melody's Echo Chamber was released on 25 September 2012 on Fat Possum Records in the United States, 17 October on Hostess Entertainment in Japan and 5 November on Weird World Record Co in Europe. The album was originally issued on CD, LP and as a digital download, and a limited-edition reissue on cassette was released on Burger Records in the US in November 2014.
Four singles were released from Melody's Echo Chamber. "Endless Shore" was released on 17 August 2012; "I Follow You" was released on 5 September 2012; "Crystallized" was released on 18 March 2013; and "Some Time Alone, Alone" was released on 1 July 2013. "Crystallized" had previously been featured on a split 7-inch single that preceded the album's release, which included a cover of the album track "Endless Shore" by Unknown Mortal Orchestra; the single was released in the US in July 2012. The standalone digital release in 2013 featured the B-side "Je Me Perds de Vue", a song which appeared "reversed and warped" on Melody's Echo Chamber as "IsThatWhatYouSaid", and which had since been restored.
In support of the album's release in the US Melody's Echo Chamber announced a 16-date North American tour opening for The Raveonettes. The tour began on 21 September 2012 in Portland, Oregon and concluded on 12 October in San Francisco, California. The band's first ever headline show was held at Cargo in London, England on 6 November, prior to a 14-date French and UK tour that took place from 8 December 2012 to 5 March 2013. A full European tour with Tame Impala subsequently took place over an eight-month period from April to December 2013 and included performances at various festivals, including Printemps de Bourges in France, Hultsfred Festival in Sweden, Primavera Sound in Portugal and Spain, and All Tomorrow's Parties in England.
