Brooklyn group Crumb have come together with Melody Prochet a.k.a. Melody's Echo Chamber, another force of contemporary psychedelic pop, for a new collaborative single called "Le Temple Volant."
In a press statement, Protchet described how she became a Crumb fan. "I remember the first time I heard Crumb's music, it was the song 'Locket' that blew my mind. I think it kind of enlightened that spark in me that loves music so passionately, and made me reach out to them. The love was mutual and once that door was opened, we had to create something together, it’s been a nice flow of ideas back and forth."

In their quote, Crumb shared their appreciation for Melody's Echo Chamber and seemed pleased to be collaborating with another artist for the first time. "[Melody's] music feels deeply nostalgic and so intertwined with that tender period of first starting the band. When she reached out to us during lockdown expressing her love for our music, it was a surreal and full-circle moment. It feels right for this to be our first song with another musical artist… We came together for the first time to film part of the video, which was filmed on Roosevelt Island, with additional filming in New Zealand and Australia."
