The new Du Blonde album will be released on Beth Jeans Houghton’s just-launched multimedia and art facility Daemon T.V.
Shirley Manson, Andy Bell, Ezra Furman, Girl Ray and Tunng all feature on the new Du Blonde album Homecoming – a self-produced, written and recorded effort.
It’s being previewed now with I’m Glad That We Broke Up, the latest since Beth Jeans Houghton began recording as Du Blonde in 2014.
“I started writing this record in December last year,” Du Blonde details. “I was renting a room in LA from my friend and I was having a pretty bad time.”
“My anxiety and depression were at a point where it was a struggle not to cry while ordering a sandwich. I’d gone out there to write, and once I got there I found out my guitar had been stolen and I couldn’t afford to buy a new one.”
“My friend Ezra Furman had a show at Largo in Hollywood and the three of us were in the green room when Jeff heard my guitar had been stolen. It turns out he’s a huge guitar nerd, we’re both into classic rock, and so he helped me out and provided me with a guitar to write the album with.”
“He brought it round to my house and as soon as he left the songs flowed quickly. I think it’s a magic guitar.”
