Album Description
Available in:
"Hunting My Dress" is the second full length studio album by American singer-songwriter Jesca Hoop, released in the UK, November 16, 2009 through Last Laugh Records. The album was later released in the US in 2010 on the Vanguard Records label.
Most of the material for the album was written and recorded after the artist moved to Manchester, England. The album was written over the course of eighteen months and described as an 'unlikely weaving of hip-hop, Native American rhythms and birdsong'.
At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from critics, the album received an average score of 78, based on 11 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".
User Album Review
Recently she moved from California to Manchester, and it is this, perhaps the most mundane aspect of her biography, which turns out to be most crucial, at least in regard to her second album, Hunting My Dress. That transatlantic relocation deeply informs her music, which blends British pastoral folk with earthy American blues and roots traditions. Evoking both the sylvan glen and the swampy delta, Hoop sets lilting melodies against gritty guitar licks, which lope through the songs with dogged repetitions-- as if she's excerpted only a few minutes of an infinite loop. It's a bracing combination of styles, one that underscores the drama of her lyrics and emboldens her idiosyncrasies.
