Product Information

Like a lot of tour-ready musicians in 2020, Hoop suddenly found that she had unexpected time on her hands, so she turned her work inwards. As it was for many people, those housebound days were some of the most tumultuous of her life, and she found the discipline and balance of a daily writing routine essential in coping with the unknown.

Legendary drummer Seb Rochford lent his skills, John Thorne plays the bass and Chloe Foy and Rachel Rimmer were enlisted to deliver Hoop’s signature vocal arrangements. The result is a fruitful marriage of song craft and arrangement, brimming with a cinematic charm and lyrical wit that signify a new chapter full of new life for an artist who knows her mind, her heart and voice well enough to trust them in uncharted territory.

She often finds that, "I have an identity crisis every time I write a catalogue of songs, I think: what is this music? Where does it fit?". [3] She explained her tendency to move between a number of styles as, "I am impressed by the power of music and its ability to transform the vessel it enters. I am everyday affected by it. If I want to change my mood, I change my music". [8] Discography [ edit ] Albums by Hoop [ edit ] Nylon strings provide a delicate I-IV progression on Like I Am Time. Hoop contributes some of her most momentous imagery – “clouds burst with lightning” – quilted by the guitar’s soft temperament; the middle ground is the startling collection of transitions taken on by her voice.

With her socialistic sieve, she filters life’s goodies and baddies on Hatred Has a Mother, seeking the good as a mid-range choir is seconded by six sprinting notes, forming a call-and-response like no other. She disengages herself from the mechanisms of song, chatting to her audience, embellishing sudden shifts in direction with Latin American sections, unable to direct the unassuming to what is coming next, leading to some wonderous structural whiplash.

There is “Sudden Light,” an exploration of how, and why dividing lines are drawn, of why we gather under flags and fabricate enemies. Jesca explains: “We group together under flags and icons to protect ourselves, to keep ourselves safe in this big risky world. We fabricate enemies and cling to the banner. Perhaps we humans should invite other possibilities on how to create safety on this vast, complex space we call earth.”In the summer of 2021, Hoop once again ventured south from her adopted home of Manchester to Bristol to team up with producer John Parish (PJ Harvey, Aldous Harding), her collaborator for 2019’s Stonechild.
