Beth Jeans Houghton from Newcastle is one of the hottest names in the English press. Her debut album Yours Truly, Cellophane Nose has just come out on Mute Records and is receiving enthusiastic reviews all over the world.
The blonde and 21 years old girl is not alone, anyway. She can count
on her band, aka The Hooves Of Destiny. With them she has opened
concerts for artists like Devendra Banhart, Joanna Newsom and Bon Iver. The press has compared her to St.Vincent and Laura Marling, but we prefer to ironically define her an “Indie pop Lady Gaga”. Maybe for her strange look, but also for the her charisma.
Beth has really deep and inspiring voice, that she developed during
her first years of experience. Talking with the website KYEO.tv, she
explained: “The boys’ voices go really well together and are
integral to the sound, that harmony makes it sound bigger. That’s what I
was trying to achieve with the loop pedal when I was younger, but now
we’ve got it for real!”.
Her music combines pop, glam rock and folk in a unique mix. The same
you find in her debut, that she deliberately recorded without a record
contract, to be more free and creative. After hearing the demos, Mute
Records has signed here and found her one of the best producers in UK:
Ben Hillier, who has worked with bands such as Depeche Mode, Blur and
Elbow.
Now you can hear the single “Sweet Tooth Bird” and enjoy these classy and timeless melodies. Just Beth.
