Mar 17, 2015 Du Blonde By Michael Wojtas

Come May 19, Du Blonde, otherwise known as Beth Jeans Houghton, will release her brand new album Welcome Back to Milk on May 19 via Mute. The album was preceded by rip-roaring single “Black Flag,” and will feature a guest spot from Future Islands’ Samuel T. Herring on a track called “Mind Is on My Mind.”

In 2012, Houghton released her debut LP Yours Truly Cellophane Nose under her own name, but decided to change her billing title. Says Houghton, “When I was a kid, my idea of being a musician came from all these big characters - Bowie, Bolan, Beefheart. I had this moment in front of all these chapters of his life: this is what I want to do and I haven’t done it for all of these years. All this stuff that was really important to me in the beginning, all of the creativity, emotional expulsion, I’d just lost all of that. It was such a sad moment, but also good - because you can’t change it unless you realize.”
