Jesca Hoop Releases New LP ‘Long Wave Home’ Ahead Of Europe, North America Tour

The seventh solo album from California-born, Manchester-based songwriter Jesca Hoop, Long Wave Home, lands today as the singer-songwriter gets ready for extensive touring across multiple continents, starting in the UK in mid-May.

Recorded in studios around the United Kingdom, with engineers Tim Thomas (Bright Eyes, British Sea Power) and Leo Abrahams (Belle & Sebastian, Frightened Rabbit) Hoop was committed to fostering the sound she envisioned for the album.

“There was a moment, many years ago, when I was ready to ditch everything—everyone I knew and everything I was doing. I gave away all my possessions, keeping only the essentials. I sold my car. I bought a plane ticket. The plan was to leave without notice. Then the biggest storm in recent history blew my getaway plan to bits. It grounded all planes and halted travel. I was forced to face my life. Myself. The storm taught me there is no cheat code for life—no easy way out. At thesame time, my life—my happiness—is my responsibility. Mine and only mine.”

Upcoming tour dates include a run of dates in the UK from May 12-23, followed by U.S. dates including venues like The Chapel in San Francisco, Lodge Room in Los Angeles, City Winery in Boston, Felton Music Hall near Santa Cruz in July, and more before European dates picking back up in September and taking her into the end of the month.
