Beth Jeans Houghton & The Hooves Of Destiny - Yours Truly, Cellophane Nose
Released: 06/02/2012
Mute
Newcastle's key proponent of psychedelic folk-pop has created a sound so fresh that critics are already finding it hard to pinpoint on the musical genre map. Her band, The Hooves of Destiny, and producer Ben Hiller (Blur, Elbow), provide solid pop form to the dreaminess of her debut record.

NME“Every other second demands a double-take...” It’s not perfect. It’s not even close, but, like its title, ‘Yours Truly, Cellophane Nose’ has an intimate, unusual charm that’s all its own...

.
BBC“Now it seems her time has finally come...” It might have been tailored for a contemporary mainstream audience who like their mellifluous pop cut with a dash of vaulting kookiness...
.
The Quietus“There are plenty of surprises to be had here...” When listening to Beth Jeans Houghton and the Hooves of Destiny, a glorious visual smorgasbord springs to mind: angels, white marble arches, Victorian Generals, feathered burlesque dancers, unicorns and Brian Blessed in Flash Gordon...

Clash Music“A firecracker to contend with...” She may not take life too seriously, but when it comes to making divine music, Beth means business...
