SoCal-to-London singer/songwriter Jesca Hoop follows up her brilliant, left-of-center and completely underexposed '07 debut Kismet this fall with Hunting My Dress , street date TBA. Included in the new ten-track set will be a fleshed out version of one of our favorites: "Murder of Birds", a song that she recorded for her 2008 Kismet Acoustic EP and which features Elbow's Guy Garvey. Glorious.

The debut album by Northern California singer-songwriter Jesca Hoop portrays the young, hip artist as a cross between Tom Waits's eclectic trawls through Tin Pan Alley history, Nellie McKay's knowing irony, and Joanna Newsom's spacey idiosyncrasies. ... Full DescriptionA richly satisfying set of varied and emotionally compelling songs with solid, memorable melodies, KISMET is far from the average trite singer-songwriter blather. Highlights include the dreamy first single "Summertime" and the glorious, Rufus Wainwright-style homage to old Hollywood glam, "Love and Love Again."
