The seventh solo album from the California-born, Manchester-based songwriter took shape amidst a period of both personal and geopolitical upheaval: a web of schisms that seemed to reflect one another as they unfolded. It is the first album Hoop produced by herself, and it marks both a fresh start and a deepening of her extensive, multifaceted discography. Across the record\u2019s rich and sumptuous tracks, Hoop deeply considers what it is that people owe to each other: in individual relationships, in community, and as witnesses to the broader world.\u00a0Following the singles \u201c<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/eudfgDZmfd8?si=hBPIPBMoLJhOuqAI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Designer Citizen<\/a>\u201d and \u201c<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/WGT3V1z6AFw?si=Ud_DC3pXIveiwNCX\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Caravan<\/a>\u201d, now Hoop shares propulsive new single and album highlight \u201c<strong>Big Storm<\/strong>\u201d, accompanied by an equally captivating video.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Big Storm   Jesca Hoop\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IaoVRUWt7yU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Nothing short of insatiable, the beat, the addictive harmonies and the captivating lyrics.

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\u2014no easy way out. At the same time, my life\u2014my happiness\u2014is my responsibility.

Hoop\u2019s life moved at an even keel, and she struggled to find points of tension that might serve as the basis for new music. <em>\u201cIf life doesn\u2019t present you with a change, how do you grow?\u201d<\/em> she asks. Then, in 2025, change came for her. Some of Hoop\u2019s most trusted relationships began to shift considerably. <em>\u201cMy writing opened up. I had more tension than I knew what to do with, and plenty to explore about human relationships<\/em>,\u201d Hoop says. \u201c<em>I was able to engage by just recording what I was seeing around me.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>As the songs on<em>\u00a0Long Wave Home<\/em>\u00a0grew from this generative state, Hoop made the choice to produce the album herself. <em>\u201cI really had to commit and do what my hero would do.<\/em>\u201d she says, referring to Joni Mitchell and her storied artistic independence. In the past, Hoop had worked with a roster of seasoned, brilliant producers:\u00a0 John Parish (PJ Harvey, Tracy Chapman); Tony Berg (Taylor Swift, boygenius); and Blake Mills, (Fiona Apple, Alabama Shakes). Hoop learned from all of these partnerships. As she embarked on her seventh album, she was ready to apply that knowledge from the cockpit.<\/p>\n<p>Hoop recorded\u00a0<em>Long Wave Home<\/em>\u00a0in studios around the United Kingdom. She asked her collaborator Jesse D. Vernon to arrange accompaniments for her songs, then set out in a camper van to meet session musicians and begin tracking. Her travels took her to The Shed in London, Empire Sound on the Isle of Wight, and J&amp;J Studios in Bristol. Throughout the process, she worked closely with engineers Tim Thomas (Bright Eyes, British Sea Power) and Leo Abrahams (Belle &amp; Sebastian, Frightened Rabbit) to foster the sound she envisioned for the album.<\/p>\n<p>Hoop stares into darkness with equal warmth and precision. With \u2018Designer Citizen\u2019 she takes a sardonic edge to questions of nationality and belonging as she sings about observing American political instability from her home across the ocean. On \u2018Signal to Noise\u2019 Hoop reflects on an overwhelming media landscape that seeks to prevent political momentum from accreting among like-minded people: \u201cIf revolution can be sparked by a feeling \/ Turn up the system, point the finger, send them reeling,\u201d she sings, her voice cradled by gentle backing vocals. And the driving, mournful \u2018Playground\u2019 bears witness to the children whose playground has been reduced to rubble, then poses the question: Where does the trauma go?<\/p>\n<p>The political landscape and the interpersonal landscape flow into one another, and to be a conscious inhabitant of both requires us to question ourselves. What do we owe to one another, and how do we deliver it? Where are our efforts most sorely needed, and how do we arrive there? Hoop\u2019s songs remind us that evolution necessitates scrutiny: a searing gaze fixed on both the outer world and the inner self.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI don\u2019t draw\u00a0a\u00a0line between a love song and a political song,\u201d\u00a0<\/em>she notes. \u201c<em>To me, it\u2019s all about being here. All of these songs are love songs, and in one way or the next, they\u2019re all protest songs, too.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The album settles with the delicate and powerful title track whose atmosphere hangs heavy with the resonance of its commingling instruments. With \u201cLong Wave Home\u201d, Hoop wraps warm arms around the skeleton of isolation and blankets you. There is strength in solidarity, in the bare recognition that we all yearn for connection. \u201cY<em>ou\u2019re not alone,<\/em>\u201d she sings. <em>\u201cLong waves are carrying you all the way home.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"884\" height=\"890\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-100483 lazyload\" style=\"width:600px\" src=\"https:\/\/circuitsweet.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Screenshot-2026-04-08-at-12.13.44.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/circuitsweet.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Screenshot-2026-04-08-at-12.13.44.jpg 884w, https:\/\/circuitsweet.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Screenshot-2026-04-08-at-12.13.44-768x773.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-eio-rwidth=\"884\" data-eio-rheight=\"890\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"884\" height=\"890\" src=\"https:\/\/circuitsweet.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Screenshot-2026-04-08-at-12.13.44.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-100483\" style=\"width:600px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/circuitsweet.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Screenshot-2026-04-08-at-12.13.44.jpg 884w, https:\/\/circuitsweet.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Screenshot-2026-04-08-at-12.13.44-768x773.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 884px) 100vw, 884px\" data-eio=\"l\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">1.
