Modern shoegazers Crumb and Psych’s reigning chanteuse Melody’s Echo Chamber have never come to mind as a collaboration that felt like the world needed. Both bands are fantastic, but their similarities never really gelled to me. And then I heard “Le Temple Volant.” What an airy, breezy groove of a song! I can listen to a song like this endlessly… I speak no French, and it doesn’t matter. This one-off single screams for a full-length collaboration of goodness like this.
You can enjoy “Le Temple Volant” in all the usual places. Both Crumb and Melody’s Echo Chamber are currently on the road, sadly separately. Tour dates after the jump, and maybe enough streams of this track will get a clever booker to put the two bands together for a Spring package run? Please?
