Long Wave Home [Oxblood], Jesca Hoop, Vinyl

Today, visionary artist Jesca Hoop announces her new album Long Wave Home due out via Last Laugh and available to preorder now. Staying true to her folk roots, though never purely, Hoop delivers strikingly original songwriting showcasing her innovative vocals augmented by imaginative arrangements. Long Wave Home is energized and rings with the promise of a fresh new chapter for the artist. To accompany today's announcement Hoop has shared the album's compelling first single, "Designer Citizen", alongside a charming video directed by James Slater. "When I was faced with the challenge of writing and recording a new album, I had the choice to stay where I was comfortable, under the sage guidance of a producer or to step out into the dark and produce it myself. It became clear that if I was going to grow in the craft, I needed to become my own lighthouse. So I made the commitment to take on the Producer role. There were a lot of sleepless nights. Writing Long Wave Home, though no less daunting, became a refuge for me-a place to explore interpersonal connections and the rise and fall of emotions that come with relationships. Writing an album can be very agitating, but it's a discomfort I am comfortable with. What a gift it is to spend my time examining my inner world, my relationships, and from it make music. Long Wave Home is not just a renewal of my commitment to the craft of writing and record-making-it's a vote of confidence and an investment in myself as an artist and authority over my vocation and life's path." - Jesca Hoop, January 2026
