It only seems like five minutes ago that Beth Jeans Houghton appeared with her band, the Hooves Of Destiny, but it was actually nearly 10 years ago.

Then came the scaling back of her sound four years later on Lung Bread For Daddy, which traded in some of the punk and exposed a more vulnerable side to the artist. If ongoing exploration and wrestling for control has defined Houghton's career so far, then Homecoming, out on her own Daemon T.V., continues to drive that narrative forwards.
