California-born but now based in Manchester, Jesca Hoop is what you would call a musician’s musician. Discovered by Tom Waits, and brought on tour by Peter Gabriel to sing in his band, it was a phone call from Elbow’s Guy Garvey that saw her move to the UK.
Hoop’s 6 studio albums including her most recent album “Order of Romance”, produced by John Parish (PJ Harvey, Aldous Harding, This is the Kit), all received huge acclaim from critics and fans alike, and it’s easy to see why: Jesca Hoop is one of our most captivating singers.
Her beautiful songs, rooted in the folk tradition are intricately detailed, acoustic-led pieces that teem with ideas, expertly crafted lyrics and melodies that spring from a deeply curious imagination.
Wedi'i eni yng Nghaliffornia ond sydd bellach wedi'i lleoli ym Manceinion, Jesca Hoop yw'r hyn y byddech chi'n ei alw'n gerddor cerddor. Wedi’i darganfod gan Tom Waits, a’i dwyn ar daith gan Peter Gabriel i ganu yn ei fand, galwad ffôn gan Guy Garvey o Elbow a welodd hi’n symud i’r DU.
Derbyniodd 6 albwm stiwdio Hoop gan gynnwys ei halbwm diweddaraf “Order of Romance”, a gynhyrchwyd gan John Parish (PJ Harvey, Aldous Harding, This is the Kit), ganmoliaeth enfawr gan feirniaid a chefnogwyr fel ei gilydd, ac mae’n hawdd gweld pam: Jesca Hoop yw un o’n cantorion mwyaf cyfareddol.
Mae ei chaneuon hardd, sydd wedi’u gwreiddio yn y traddodiad gwerin, yn ddarnau cywrain o fanwl, dan arweiniad acwstig sy’n gyforiog o syniadau, geiriau crefftus ac alawon sy’n tarddu o ddychymyg hynod chwilfrydig.
