Our Take

Ah, Beth Jeans Houghton, the enigmatic songstress with a voice as sweet as a summer breeze and lyrics as sharp as a knife. Her latest album, "Yours Truly / Cellophane Nose", is a tour de force of indie folk whimsy, blending elements of pop, rock, and folk into a delicious musical stew that is at once familiar and completely unique.

From the opening notes of "Sweet Tooth Bird", Houghton grabs your attention and doesn't let go until the final strains of "Nightswimmer" fade into the ether. Her lyrics are both playful and profound, touching on themes of love, loss, and self-discovery with a wit and wisdom far beyond her years.

The musicianship on display here is top-notch, with Houghton's band providing a lush, orchestral backdrop that perfectly complements her angelic vocals. Standout tracks include the hauntingly beautiful "Veins", the infectious "Dodecahedron", and the achingly gorgeous "Atlas".

In a musical landscape dominated by auto-tuned pop stars and cookie-cutter bands, Beth Jeans Houghton stands out like a technicolor peacock in a sea of grey pigeons. "Yours Truly / Cellophane Nose" is a triumph of artistic vision and musical talent, a shimmering gem in a sea of mediocrity. Do yourself a favour and give it a listen - you won't be disappointed.
