78. JESCA HOOP "CITY BIRD"


next up is a startlingly beautiful et beguiling track, City Bird from Manchester based Californian indie-folk songstress Jesca Hoop off her forthcoming "Snowglobe" EP (2011).

Hoop's voice is utterly enchanting, City Bird is a languorous, dreamy, sultry tale, at times sounding like an old sea shanty. there are echoes of Joanna Newsom et Chan Marshall {Cat Power} lingering in these sparse, haunting, soulful tracks. enjoy!


MP3: City Bird
