Jesca Hoop returns with her third album The House That Jack Built on her own label.

Part siren song, part grim warning, it achieves a perspective-warping balance between the haunting intimacy of Hoop’s delivery and an unconfined air of horizon-scanning grandeur from the outset The follow up to 2009’s critically acclaimed Hunting My Dress,(check out the beautiful music videos for 'My Kingdom' and 'City Bird'). the new recording is a co-production between Jesca Hoop and three other producers – “ a drop of blood in the can from each of us rendered a more radical sound” says Hoop – and this visceral album will open a whole new world of listeners to Jesca’s music. Hoop found herself exploring topics as diverse as Greek tragedies (Peacemaker), street artist Banksy (Ode To Banksy) and her often turbulent relationship with her father (DNR and the album’s title track).
