Jesca Hoop's latest stark and eloquent effort "Undress" offers up salt-of-the-earth duets with much loved artists, Guy Garvey, Iron and Wine, Willy Mason and Erika Wennerstrom. These four duets stand as cornerstones for what is a reaffirmation of Hoop's incomparable abilities as a singer and songwriter.
Having won exceptional reviews for her last studio album "The House That Jack Built" in 2012, Hoop kicks off 2014 with "Undress", a live and intimate rendering of her sophomore album "Hunting My Dress".
"Undress" sees Jesca take the original songs from "Hunting My Dress" back to basics with live recordings and collaborations with some of her favourite artists. Her collaborators were in some ways determined by Jesca's course of travel. She hooked up with Willy Mason in LA, Iron and Wine in Atlanta (Jesca was touring with Sam and they recorded on her last night of the tour), Erika Wennerstrom in Austin, Texas, and Guy Garvey in Manchester.
