Carsten Pieper I recently discovered that Jesca Hoop has loads of stuff here on Bandcamp (thanks to the esteemed Sven B. Schreiber buying some). As I couldn t make up my mind, which album to buy (quite a few landed on the wishlist), I went for the most recent one (and will have to work backwards ;-) ).Great songwriting that goes to some depths, so be warned not to be dragged down emotionally. I love this moody, gloomy stuff, though... Favorite track: Old Fear of Father. Sven B. Schreiber Basically a singer-songwriter album, but not of the usual kind. The songs are contemplative and emotional, wrapped into varied uncommon arrangements, and the mystic mood of the album spreads immediately and thoroughly to the listener. Exceptional! Favorite track: Red White and Black. spiros_metsouggis Most enchanting singer-songwriter of the year imo. Empathetic and charmingly dark, great minimalistic arrangements and vocal harmonies that give goosebumps in an effortless way. Bravo! Favorite track: Passage s End. Percy Costello This album, like all of her others, is very unique and does not disappoint, I love it more every time hear it. Favorite track: Death Row. Michael Kish Stunning album that grows with each listen. A rare combination of musical inventiveness and deeply empathetic, intimately relatable songwriting. An album of the year candidate for me. Favorite track: Shoulder Charge (ft. Lucius). Includes unlimited streaming via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

Beautiful, subtle and stark, her fifth album, the follow up to 2017’s highly acclaimed ‘Memories Are Now’, is her best yet. Despite being a long term resident of Manchester, Hoop, has until now, returned to her native California to record. This time round however, “it was” according to Hoop “time to step out of my comfort zone, my safe place”, venturing south to Bristol to team up with producer John Parish (PJ Harvey, Aldous Harding, This is the Kit). Parish’s minimal and purist approach helped clarify Hoop in her ideas and subtly yet effectively realigning her sound. The simplified arrangements draw focus to the fundamental sophistication of the songs.While Hoop’s trademark finger-plucked guitar and ethereal textures remain, the songs and their presentation are ever more direct. Parish “was a gentle collaborator until he killed one of my darlings” Hoop jests. “I’ve never been so brutally edited, and I wasn’t shy about expressing my discomfort at the sight of my work on the cutting room floor. He said, you will forgive me, and in some way I think I actually enjoyed that treatment…being stripped back to the bare basics…albeit painfully”. STONECHILD ventures further into fresh territory with other voices joining the narrative, with Kate Stables (aka This is the Kit) Rozi Plain and Lucius singing the choruses and expanding the sensual depth of the sonic bloom.Embedded in Hoop’s song writing is an inherent unpredictability something she ascribes to being “guided more from instinct than study”. Perhaps more than ever before, STONECHILD sees Hoop lead us through uncharted landscapes across the course of the album. “When I look at the history of my life, I realise I have the breakdown of not only my parents’ marriage but also the breakdown of their parenting to thank for the wild and unexpected course that my life would take. I went looking for a raw and rugged world. the opposite of what I was raised in.” The album title was settled after a trip to a Philadelphia’s Mütter Museum, where the STONECHILD is a sad, compelling display of an unborn foetus carried by a woman for over 30 years. “They become a hard ball of bones, a rock. Phonetically, it s a beautiful sounding word - hard and soft – but also, I am taken by the idea of carrying something for a long time, perhaps in secret and then giving it up. I hope I have made an album of substance. There is meat on the bone”. There certainly is; the breath-taking Shoulder Charge, with Lucius contributing backing vocals, speaks of stigmatized culture and the kind of isolation that is formed by shame in a world where were “we are actually and truly the same …even in our differences. To understand all is to forgive all”. Old Fear of Father tackles an exhausted patriarchy and misogyny but if it was perpetuated by females. “I love my boys, more than I love my girl, try not to show it, she’s knows, like I knew”. It’s bare yet dense arrangement reveals a story that is both heart-breaking and shamefully true. On Red White and Black, Hoop chants down white supremacy. “Now the iron cloth that’s cut from the loom bares the black and white stripe of a cotton field rolling- And the dark mines and flame of redeemers put them right back in the iron cloth and the flag is waving”. As Hoop says “current politics is fucking disturbing. I write from personal perspective, about relationships mostly and I don’t find much music in politics, but as hate crimes increase, women’s rights are being rolled back, and the two nations I call home are building walls… well, the political has become deeply personal.”The folkiest moment on the album, the Kate Stables featuring Outside of Eden, concerns those young ones whose development is now guided by technology and the increasingly intimate relationship between child and device. “Come shut in boys for the girlfriend experience, enter the code and I’ll taste real”. STONECHILD, Hoop says, is intended to “wrap its arms around our human planet spinning in its increasingly precarious wobble”. These rich and curious songs derived from themes of our troubled times speak Hoop’s heart and mind from her empathetic yet tough loving centre point. With writing so fluid, so natural the result is an album where everything is truly meant. The wonderful Rozi Plain, who very kindly provided BVs on Stonechild Jesca Hoop The debut album from This is the Kit - Kate Stables was kind enough to help out on Stonechild. Jesca HoopThe perfectly arranged order of the songs, the growing depth of the themes touched in each song, harmonized with a very just as needed sound production. So different from the first album, yet so similar. It is not a perfect album, of course, as such a thing does not exist, but it helps you imaging one.Really looking forward to see how this will evolve into the next Phoebe Bridgers big thing.TLDR: It s ok, I guess fuminides Indisputable soundtrack to 2020. Katie Crutchfield just gets better and better with every record. megan_sinclair Josiah Johnson of The Head and the Heart steps out on his own on a record full of sun-dappled indie rock, with booming brass big refrains.
