Jesca Hoop

Good People. Today there is one more piece of Hoop in the world. Outside of Eden holds a special place for me because not only does it feature the magical Kate Stables from This Is The Kit but also my twelve year old nephew Justis Hoop Garza. This is his first time on record and I'm very proud of him. Kids have to deal with a great many strange and strong influences these days. This tune takes our tender young ones under the soft and sturdy wings of big Sisters. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjQKUx1ziy0 From my soon to be released album Stonechild, which you can preorder here: https://smarturl.it/stonechild

Good People. Chloe, Rachel and I played a show for The Quay Sessions with Roddy Hart this past Wednesday, the first time we have performed songs from Stonechild. You can watch a video of Red White and Black, and depending on your location, listen to the whole set back on BBC Sounds here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0005rw7 I do hope you enjoy Hoop xx

Big thanks to The Quay Sessions with Roddy Hart for having us up to play alongside The Twilight Sad (Official). Tune in at 9pm tonight on BBC Radio Scotland to hear new tunes from my new record Stonechild played live for the first time: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0005rw7

Good People of Glasgow (and beyond). On 12th June, I will be heading to Saint Luke's & The Winged Ox to perform a show as part of The Quay Sessions with Roddy Hart, alongside the wonderful The Twilight Sad (Official). You can be among the first people to see songs from my new album Stonechild performed live, by applying for tickets right here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/showsandtours/shows/the_quay_sessions_12june19 See you there Hoop xx

Good People. Today I am delighted to share a new song, with a new video. 'Red White and Black' is a one of a kind within the songs off my upcoming album Stonechild. It's a bitter pill... an anecdotal antidote. We get to hear Lucius sing with me the chorus ! The video which was directed by my old friend and collaborator Elia Petridis and his company Filmatics was a true adventure to make...from conception to execution. I'm game. https://youtu.be/XfHPGNMvbtM

Good People. Tomorrow, one more small space in the universe will be filled with Hoop. Keep your eyes and your ears wide open xx

Good People. To celebrate the release of my new album STONECHILD I'm heading to the UK Rough Trade shops to play instore 9th Jul - Rough Trade Nottingham http://smarturl.it/hooprtnotts 10th Jul - Rough Trade East http://smarturl.it/hooprteast 11st Jul - Rough Trade Bristol http://smarturl.it/hooprtbristol

These are some of the views from the place where I wrote Stonechild. Writing comes with frustration. Landscapes and environments are not just for romance but also good medicine as you lean into the crack.

I'm sure you'll be curious to hear something from STONECHILD, so may I suggest you take a listen to the first track to be revealed, Shoulder Charge, with vocal flourishes from Lucius, the miraculous Jess Wolfe and Holly Laessig http://smarturl.it/stonechild

Good People. Today I get to announce that I have a new record coming out and it is set for release this coming July 5th. The album's title is Stonechild. Yep... Stonechild. I have to say it's a moody little guy and she's definitely on a trip....dressed in something dark and rich. I can't wait for you to put it on.... turn it up and fill your house with Hoop. Now there are many ways to preorder your copy here: http://smarturl.it/stonechild There is a very fine Dinked Edition, limited to 600 copies, coming in a mirror board sleeve, on 180g white and black vinyl, with a signed, numbered, Jesca Hoop scribble print lyric sheet, and a flexidisc featuring non-album track 'Waking Andreas' Or if you prefer to order direct, you can head to my store, where you can preorder on white and black marble vinyl, CD, download and cassette, plus pick up an exclusive tea towel so you can dry the dishes while you listen to Stonechild. Well, that seems enough info to be going on with for now. yours truly hoop x

Hello Good People X These past several months, I have isolated myself to the writing and recording of a new album of songs... all the while counting my blessings. I have much to look forward to... or shall I say WE. I am happy to announce: Oct 4 2019 I play my biggest headlining show to date at the Barbican Centre in London. Though I do not recommend thinking long upon the future, I would like to plant this sparky little seed for a moment that is really just around the bend. Time flies. Going on sale to Barbican members tomorrow at 10am, and on general sale at 10am on Friday, get your tickets here and I'll see you there !! http://smarturl.it/hoopatthebarbican Yours truly Hoop x
