Staying true to her folk roots, though never purely, Hoop delivers strikingly original songwriting showcasing her innovative vocals augmented by imaginative arrangements. \u003cem\u003eLong Wave Home\u003c\/em\u003e is energized and rings with the promise of a fresh new chapter for the artist. To accompany today’s announcement Hoop has shared the album’s compelling first single, “\u003cem\u003eDesigner Citizen\u003c\/em\u003e”, alongside a charming video directed by \u003cstrong\u003eJames Slater\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdditionally, Hoop has announced news of a 10-date UK tour in May including a performance at London’s Union Chapel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“When I was faced with the challenge of writing and recording a new album, I had the choice to stay where I was comfortable, under the sage guidance of a producer or to step out into the dark and produce it myself. It became clear that if I was going to grow in the craft, I needed to become my own lighthouse. So I made the commitment to take on the Producer role. There were a lot of sleepless nights.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWriting \u003cem\u003eLong Wave Home\u003c\/em\u003e, though no less daunting, became a refuge for me—a place to explore interpersonal connections and the rise and fall of emotions that come with relationships. Writing an album can be very agitating, but it’s a discomfort I am comfortable with. What a gift it is to spend my time examining my inner world, my relationships, and from it make music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMy life took an unexpected turn in 2025. Many people exited my life... like a bus pulling into the station. Some of these relationships were of great importance, so I had much to wrestle with in these verses. Disconnect, or the illusion thereof, was also fodder for songs—amid the chaos and confusion we are creating in this world, I feel a responsibility to record what I see transpiring among us: what is being done... by whom and to whom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe song titled ‘\u003cem\u003eCaravan\u003c\/em\u003e’ articulates the risks of investing in or relying upon intimate relationships. The title track, ‘\u003cem\u003eLong Wave Home\u003c\/em\u003e’, addresses a certain estrangement that I believe we are all feeling, as technologies isolate each of us and make connections feel ever more distant. ‘\u003cem\u003ePlayground\u003c\/em\u003e’ is a protest song advocating for the children of Gaza.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecording this album was a road trip and a forage—me and a hard drive in a camper van, pulling into studios up and down England, gathering material. I enlisted engineers \u003cstrong\u003eLeo Abrahams\u003c\/strong\u003e (at The Shed in London); \u003cstrong\u003eJim\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eRob Homes\u003c\/strong\u003e (at \u003cstrong\u003eEmpire Sound\u003c\/strong\u003e on the Isle of Wight); \u003cstrong\u003eJim Barr\u003c\/strong\u003e (at J\u0026amp;J Studio in Bristol); and Tim Thomas (at Blueprint in Manchester). I brought in \u003cstrong\u003eJesse D Vernon\u003c\/strong\u003e to arrange brass and tuned percussion. I brought in \u003cstrong\u003eSebastian Rochford\u003c\/strong\u003e on drums, \u003cstrong\u003eJon Thorne\u003c\/strong\u003e on bass, and \u003cstrong\u003eSam Amidon\u003c\/strong\u003e 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 \u003cstrong\u003eTim Thomas\u003c\/strong\u003e—where we laid out the sessions like bolts of raw material and constructed the album.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eLong Wave Home\u003c\/em\u003e is not just a renewal of my commitment to the craft of writing and record-making—it’s a vote of confidence and an investment in myself as an artist and authority over my vocation and life’s path.” – \u003cstrong\u003eJesca Hoop\u003c\/strong\u003e, January 2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Last Laugh","offers":[{"title":"LP - Ox Blood Colour Vinyl","offer_id":57208123294041,"sku":"SDZ-17341","price":35.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/3455\/0945\/files\/Jesca_Hoop_-_Long_Wave_Home_-_LP_Oxblood_Coloured_Vinyl_with_Signed_Art_Print_-_2026.jpg?v=1770200657","url":"https:\/\/spindizzyrecords.com\/products\/jesca-hoop-long-wave-home-w-signed-print-lp-ox-blood-colour-vinyl","provider":"Spindizzy Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
