User Album Review
Hoop continues to show a changeable side to her nature, surging and anthemic on single ‘Born To’, lusty on ‘Peacemaker’, playful (and a little bit annoying) on ‘Ode To Banksy’. She’s Laura Marling on ‘D.N.R’, then Bat For Lashes meets Twin Peaks on ‘Deeper Devastation.’ Sometimes such changeability can be frustrating in a record, and it can initially make The House That Jack Built a great collection of songs rather than a collective piece of work. However, Hoop’s voice, which can swoop from whisper to howl in the blink of an eye, and her lyrical preoccupation with the darker thoughts that can lie just below the surface help to tie the whole thing together. Working with three different producers, and blocking herself off from the rest of the world to write the songs, seems to have done the job for Jesca Hoop. Listen to The House That Jack Built a few times, and you won’t care whose nappies she’s changed.
