Jesca Hoop has also announced a 10-date UK tour.

Jesca Hoop will release her new album Long Wave Home on May 1st and is previewing it with the lead single Designer Citizen.

Hoop took up production duties following the release of Selective Memory – an acoustic reworking of 2017’s Memories Are Now – last year, brought together during what is described as a road trip in a camper van, ‘pulling into studios up and down England’:

“I enlisted engineers Leo Abrahams (at The Shed in London); Jim and Rob Homes (at Empire Sound on the Isle of Wight); Jim Barr (at J&J Studio in Bristol); and Tim Thomas (at Blueprint in Manchester),” she has explained.

“I brought in Jesse D Vernon to arrange brass and tuned percussion. I brought in Sebastian Rochford on drums, Jon Thorne on bass, and Sam Amidon to play a cast of stringed instruments. Over three weeks, I roved my way through these sessions, gathering performances.”

I slept under viaducts and ancient oak trees, and I woke to dewy, glistening pastures. I found the best cafés, and I swam in the sea. The sessions felt like discoveries – surprise after surprise – as the musicians and engineers coloured the tunes, each in their own way.

“With a full hard drive and heart, I returned to Manchester – to Tim Thomas – where we laid out the sessions like bolts of raw material and constructed the album.”
