    Musically, it’s a collection of good indie rock/garage rock melodies. Upbeat enough and catchy. Listen to the lyrics and you are brought down to the inverse of upbeat. It's a set of filthy and self loathing observations that completely belie the sounds your hearing. The material is good and the self produced album has a real DIY feel, giving it proper authenticity.

    Hard-edged, unflinchingly honest, and unfailingly loud. Rough and self-produced. Willful, sometimes self-destructive, uncomfortable. Obviously, I love it.

    Throughout Lung Bread For Daddy, Du Blonde sounds as if she is constantly on the verge of losing grip of her emotional and mental torment, but because she weaves her feelings and contemplates the woes of her life like someone three times her age, Du Blonde’s latest offering emits surprising clarity and winds up as her most refined work to date.

    The way every part of Lung Bread for Daddy comes together to create a ragged but ultimately uplifting self-portrait of Du Blonde makes for thrilling listening.

    Houghton’s control is masterful, not just in translating her thoughts and confusion so pristinely into cracking tunes, but this record is testament to just how undersung she is as a musician.
