Melody Prochet

[2] She had a musical upbringing, learning to play the piano and the viola at a young age, the latter of which she says influenced her "orchestral" approach to songwriting.

[4] Prochet, under the name Melody Van Kappers, formed The Narcoleptic Dancers in 2010 with Dutch musician Anton Louis Jr.

[5] Prochet and Louis claimed to the press that they were half-siblings born to a Dutch professional soccer player named Johnny Van Kappers, and that they discovered a shared passion for music after meeting at their father's funeral in the early 2000s; the validity of these statements is unclear, as there appears to be no record of Johnny Van Kappers' existence or soccer career.

Drowned in Sound's Dom Gourlay awarded the album 9/10 and stated: "Whatever happens next, she can rest assured safe in the knowledge that together with her beau they've conjured up one of 2012's--or any other year in recent memory--finest debuts."

"[9] Prochet has stated that she and Parker were working on a second album together before their breakup, but was scrapped due to what she described the recording process as a "painful" period for her.

"[7] On 27 June 2017, a statement was released by Prochet's family that she had been in a serious accident and would need to be in the hospital for several months, resulting in the cancellation of her upcoming tour.
