An Introduction to Jesca Hoop

By Virginia Prescott on Friday, January 25, 2008.

Tom Waits says "Her music is like going swimming in a lake at night." The New York Times says it "sounds as is it comes from an imaginary country." And music reviewers around the country are adding her debut album to their "best-of" lists. Jesca Hoop is making a splash, that's for sure. Word of Mouth new music reviewer Bill Slammon talks with us about her album, Kismet.

I think what's interesting about Jesca is that any search for her on the internet will yield information about her "strict mormon upbringing" - though I find little of this in her music.

This is truly something different. Not yet foreign but certainly never done before. Really great stuff.
