With her debut album, ‘Yours Truly, Cellophane Nose’ picking up glowing reviews ahead of its 6 February 2012 release, Beth Jeans Houghton & The Hooves Of Destiny are set to release the giddy (but murderous) ‘Sweet Tooth Bird’ as a single.
Her debut album ‘Yours Truly, Cellophane Nose’ was created with producer Ben Hiller (Blur, Elbow, Depeche Mode). It introduces one of the most self-assured new bands of the year, fronted by a pop polymath whose blend of psychedelia, glam rock and chain gang folk is quite unlike anything else you’re likely to hear in 2012.
To mark the release of the album, Beth Jeans Houghton will be taking her band, The Hooves Of Destiny, on a canter around the United Kingdom. For anyone picturing a girl and a guitar, think again – this is a full band performance with Beth plus Dav Shiel (drums, vocals samples), Rory Gibson (bass, vocals), Ed Blazey (guitar, trumpet, vocals) and Findlay Macaskill (violin, vocals). Collectively, they’re The Hooves Of Destiny – a crack unit recruited from Beth’s native North East. If you’ve never seen Houghton before, expect the unexpected: Houghton’s performances are guaranteed to be different, often unpredictable and always entertaining, her between-song chat giving an eye into the slanted world explored further in her inspired lyrics.
