Du Blonde releases new album "Welcome Back To Milk"

It was time for a revolution. Beth Jeans Houghton was dead, and Du Blonde was born. Welcome Back To Milk is the Newcastle-born singer-songwriter's second album, but her debut as Du Blonde, and it's a complete reinvention: new name, new look, new band, new attitude – and attitude is a key word.

Du Blonde is not a persona or a character, it’s Beth Jeans Houghton ripping it up and starting again. Gone is the baroque chamber pop of 2012’s Yours Truly, Cellophane Nose. Gone is the band she recorded that album with, The Hooves Of Destiny. In place of all that are heavy riffs, loud drums, vocal aggression and the sound of somebody finding their voice, whether screaming the chorus of Chips To Go, singing soul-bearing ballad Four In The Morning or cooing through wistful torch song After The Show.
