We’ve followed the chameleon like career of Beth Jeans Houghton with great interest ever since we saw her supporting Phosphorescent in London a few years ago. Since then she’s had the Hooves of Destiny and, more recently, the Du Blonde moniker – complete with an altogether heavier, grittier sound.
She will be releasing her second album as Du Blonde titled Lung Bread For Daddy via Moshi Moshi on the 22nd February, and it is described as a meeting in which her previous two albums, 2015’s Welcome Back To Milk and her debut Yours Truly, Cellophane Nose, take a seat at the table and make amends. Veering wildly between proto-punk, psych rock and the wholesome song writing of the 1970s.
The first single is the autobiographical Angel, referencing the end of a relationship with someone who promises a lot, but delivers very little.
Watch the self-directed video for it below. Pre-order the album here.
