User Album Review
The greatest sadness here is that Undress is unlikely to win over many new fans. As alternate versions, B-sides/rarities and live albums tend to be diehard collector’s items, this probably won’t see many visitors. It is a true shame, as, ironically, this would be a brilliant introduction to Jesca Hoop. It’s got her acoustic tenderness, her electric eccentricity, her knack for structure and her experimental scope. It’s emotional, it’s hooky and it’s loveable, and as a straight-up folk record for those who’ve never heard Hoop’s sounds before, it ticks a great many boxes. But, alas, as dazzling as the album regularly is, it is a fan’s record. It is fan service. But if you know anyone who’s not heard Jesca Hoop before, lob this at ‘em and maybe its purpose will change. -- Reviewed by thelineofbestfit.com.
