Du Blonde  Lung Bread for Daddy

Continues to be one of UK guitar music’s best kept secrets DIY

Du Blonde  Lung Bread for Daddy

Has more than enough fire and soul in its grooves to banish any idea that she might be spreading herself too thin The Arts Desk

Du Blonde  Lung Bread for Daddy

Less of a wholesale reinvention than a bedding down of self-sufficiency Loud And Quiet

Du Blonde  Lung Bread for Daddy

Her second LP as Du Blonde plays it two ways: first with unremarkable, lunging dynamics and fuzz-caked riffs, then in a leaner and more soulful style, wit nods to prog and '70s folk-pop songcraft. Tha latter is more convincing and a better fit for her great voice and brutally honest lyrics. Print edition only Uncut

It resets her musical dial by abandoning the borderline Nick Cave-isms of Welcome... to amp up the rock dynamism which first won her attention. Print edition only Mojo

An album full of sadness, mediated by Houghton's sweet instrumentation and voice, heightened by a sense of solitude that permutes the entire record Under The Radar

"The doctor said I've passed my peak/All my eggs are dying/In my 20s I'm antique," she groans on Holiday resort. her Verve and wit protest otherwise. Print edition only Q

Another outstanding record The Line Of Best Fit

Teeth Of The Sea  Wraith

The best the band have sounded since their debut; full of creativity and chemistry that appears to grow more refined with each album Loud And Quiet

Teeth Of The Sea  Wraith

If they could bring a little more of their noise-based disruption into the mix, their prophetic horns would be worth heeding The Guardian

Teeth Of The Sea  Wraith

Wraith is Teeth of the Sea’s best, but also subtlest, album to date Drowned In Sound
