Jesca Hoop 's story is a fascinating one. Having started her career as a nanny for Tom Waits' kids (yes, really) the songwriter left her California home a couple of years ago and relocated to Manchester, having been encouraged to give up the sun by Guy Garvey - a man who, it must be said, looks like he could do with a bit of vitamin D. Hunting My Dress , Hoop's first post-States release, was a fascinating collection of distorted folk-rock (often more rock than folk) that frequently seemed to dip into [...]

My seduction by Manchester via California's Jesca Hoop began with the now lauded recommendation by Tom Waits. "Her music is like swimming naked in a lake at night" he said. And when Waits speaks, the wise listen. For everyone that has done exactly such a thing; you know just how exhilarating/frightening skinny dipping at night in [...]

Jesca Hoop is hardly known at all for being the nanny to Tom Waits’ kids anymore. Instead, people are focussing on her music of all things. And that’s likely to happen an awful lot more in a few months time when she releases her new album, The House That Jack Built . It’s out on June 26 via Bella Union , but if you can’t wait until then it’s worth heading over to her website and downloading a track from it – the powerful Born To . Or, you could just listen to it here: [...]

Filed under: New Music Bella Union Jesca Hoop has lived all over the map, and her dense life experience seems to be reflected in her layered music. After growing up singing folk tunes in northern California, Hoop became a homesteader in the wilderness of California and Wyoming. Though she now resides in Manchester, England, Hoop decamped to Los Angeles to record her upcoming album, The House That Jack Built . "Born To," the [...]

Κάποια άλμπουμ κολλημένα στο limbo μεταξύ των καλύτερων κυκλοφοριών και των αδιάφορων μας κοιτούν με βλέμμα προσμονής. Σε κανέναν από αυτούς τους δίσκους δεν αξίζει να πάει «αδιάβαστος» οπότε θα επιχειρήσουμε να πούμε δύο λόγια για τον καθένα. Δίσκοι σε καμία περίπτωση τέλειοι, που όμως διαθέτουν κάτι ο καθένας όπου μπορείς να σταθείς. Το 100 Lovers των Devotchka είναι βασισμένο σε αυτό το κλασσικό με έθνικ επιρροές ροκ τους που τόσο γλαφυρά σχεδιάζουν τα τελευταία δέκα χρόνια και έφτασε στο απόγειο της δόξας του με [...]

I have been a fan of Jesca Hoop for quite some time now, so I was delighted when I was given the opportunity to interview her a few weeks back, in the wake of her last London gig (as part of her recent UK tour) and the release of her brand new EP City Bird . Those of you who managed to catch this Californian singer-songwriter and guitarist on last year's series of Other Voices will know that she is one interesting lady. I might as well start by mentioning her can-you-believe-it [...]

“It’s not who you are, it’s who you know.” – a phrase that might at first seem appropriate to Jesca Hoop ’s slow rise to relative prominence. Originally a nanny to Tom Wait’s children and then championed by our very own champion, Guy Garvey, it wouldn’t be overly cynical to say that Hoop has been given a helping hand to get her where she sits today. At the same time, it’s “who you are” that first gets you noticed by “who you know” and if Hoop’s smoky vocal tendrils hadn’t ensnared Garvey, then there would have been countless others [...]
