Jesca Hoop’s Long Wave Home spills with hope for a broken world. The seventh solo album from the California-born, Manchester-based songwriter took shape amidst a period of both personal and geopolitical upheaval: a web of schisms that seemed to reflect one another as they unfolded. It is the first album Hoop produced by herself, and it marks both a fresh start and a deepening of her extensive, multifaceted discography. Across the record’s rich and sumptuous tracks, Hoop deeply considers what it is that people owe to each other: in individual relationships, in community, and as witnesses to the broader world. These days run thick with terror. Long Wave Home sinks into it and surfaces anew with a nimble, inquisitive spirit.

At the end of 2024, Hoop began mapping out what would become Long Wave Home with a focus on her own independence as an artist and working musician. “I shed a lot of superfluous roles and structures wherever I was making too many compromises,” she says. “With that blank slate, I started to write.” The songs, at first, came slowly. Hoop’s life moved at an even keel, and she struggled to find points of tension that might serve as the basis for new music. “If life doesn’t present you with a change, how do you grow?” she asks. Then, in 2025, change came for her. Some of Hoop’s most trusted relationships began to shift considerably. “My writing opened up. I had more tension than I knew what to do with, and plenty to explore about human relationships,” Hoop says. “I was able to engage by just recording what I was seeing around me.”

As the songs on Long Wave Home grew from this generative state, Hoop made the choice to produce the album herself. “I really had to commit and do what my hero would do,” she says, referring to Joni Mitchell and her storied artistic independence. In the past, Hoop had worked with a roster of seasoned, brilliant producers: John Parish (PJ Harvey, Tracy Chapman); Tony Berg (Taylor Swift, boygenius); and Blake Mills, (Fiona Apple, Alabama Shakes). Hoop learned from all of these partnerships. As she embarked on her seventh album, she was ready to apply that knowledge from the cockpit
