My dear nephew Justis, 12 years old, flew out from Austin to LA, his first flight alone, to sing on film with me for a day and help me send this song, Outside of Eden, into the world. The full video will be unveiled tomorrow, but Justis, watching you rise to this task was a true joy for me and a triumph for us both.. Thank you x

Good people. A small insight into what when into the making of the Red White and Black video, directed by the inspirational Elia Petridis, and the wonderful crew at Filmatics https://youtu.be/RPnKrs_ijv0

Good people. The History of Hoop Spotify playlist is now replete with Outside of Eden. Take a deep dive...

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. 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.
