Jesca Hoop - Snowglobe

Review by Lauren Strain

A concise but precise chapter in the Jesca Hoop story, a miniature bottling of her darkly perfumed ghost-tales. »

native californian, now transplanted to manchester, the beguiling jesca hoop returns with the brand new 'snowglobe' ep. now signed to the us vanguard label (home to two generations of outstanding folk, roots and blues artists) hoop comes forth with her final self released offering. she recorded the 'snowglobe' songs in her adopted new home of manchester, where she is hard at work on her next full length album. hoop was adopted by elbow's guy garvey, who showcased hoop as main support on two us tours and a national uk jaunt. garvey also duetted with hoop on her memorable 'murder of birds' song. here we have a new chapter in jesca hoop's story, with four unfurling acoustic songs that allow her ravishing vocal talents, and rare emotional force to truly soar, drawing listeners in and nestling close as she hypnotises.
